Arpactophilus cuspidis Bohart, 1999: 98 [♀: holotype MNHN].

Diagnosis. Arpactophilus cuspidis is the only New Caledonian species in the genus with the combination of a gena with surface structure (a lateroventral area of carinulae) (similar to pattern in Fig. 14) and a half yellow clypeus. It can also be distinguished from all other species by the combination of its unique form and coloration of the clypeus and the broad yellow mandible (Fig. 43). The apical margin of the clypeus is projecting medially, with a concave incision, forming two prominent teeth.

Material examined. 1♀: “ Nouvelle-Calédonie, Sarraméa Col d’Amieu. Collecté sur: Divers Par battage Le 23/12/05 Par S. Cazeres & C. Mille” [IAC].
