Papuandra queenslandensis sp. nov.

( Fig. 6 , 90 , 146 , 229 , 272 , 318 , 395, 396 )

Etymology. The name refers to the Australian state of Queensland.

Type-material. Holotype F, from AUSTRALIA, Queensland: Tully Falls (730m; 18 km SSW Ravenshoe), I.18.1988, Storey and Dickinson coll. ( QPIM) . Paratypes (6 F), as follows: same data as holotype: 4 F ( QPIM) ; F (MZSP); F (DHCO).

Description. Integument brown; parts of head and mandibles, margins of pronotum, and elytral suture blackish.

Female ( Fig. 395 ). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities and at central region between them and occiput, moderately coarsely and abundantly punctate, gradually coarse and in part confluent laterally and behind eyes; gibbosities well marked, separated by furrow deep and wide; area between gibbosities and ocular carina just depressed, moderately finely, sparsely punctate; ocular carina clearly elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes. Eyes ( Fig. 90 ) moderately wide; posterior ocular edge distinct, but without abrupt declivity towards posterior part of head. Central area of clypeus oblique. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 6 ) wide and rounded at apex. Submentum barely depressed, coarsely and moderately abundantly punctate; pilosity short and very sparse; anterior margin very slightly elevated. Mandibles ( Fig. 146 ) Birandra -like; dorsal carina moderately elevated and restricted to basal third. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI ( Fig. 229 ) not visible from side and not divided by carina; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI absent.

Pronotum just finely and sparsely punctate at central region, gradually coarser and more abundant laterally; posterior angles distinct and obtuse. Elytra coarsely, abundantly punctate, mainly laterally; each elytron with two carinae clear. Metasternum coarse, well marked, moderately abundantly punctate near metepisterna and shallower and sparser towards middle of disc that is flat. Metafemur ( Fig. 396 ) short and moderately elongated; punctures moderately fine and abundant. Dorsal face of metatibiae longitudinally sulcate. Metatarsomere V (without claws) barely longer than I-III together ( Fig. 272 ).

Dimensions in mm (F). Total length (including mandibles), 14.5-20.9; prothorax: length, 3.1-4.6; anterior width, 3.3-4.7; posterior width, 3.2-4.8; humeral width, 3.8-5.7; elytral length, 8.8-12.8.

Comments. Papuandra queenslandensis differs from P. araucariae by the: punctures of the head, the pronotum, and the elytra distinctly coarser and more abundant; central projection of labrum ( Fig. 6 ) wide; antennomeres I-XI not divided by carina. In P. araucaria , the punctures of the head, and the pronotum, are finer, the central projection of the female labrum ( Fig. 2 ) is narrow, and antennomeres III-XI are divided by carina. Differs from female of P. weigeli by the punctures of the head and of the pronotum clear and very abundant, and by the shape of the central projection of the labrum. In females of P. weigeli , the punctures of the head and pronotum are clearly finer and less perceptible, and the central projection of labrum ( Fig. 5 ) is clearly narrower. The female of P. gressitti is unknown, but in males, the punctation of the head, pronotum, and elytra of that species is clearly finer and sparser, and the ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI is divided by carina.
