Parandra araucariae Gressitt, 1959: 65 View in CoL , fig. 1.

Parandra (Parandra) araucariae View in CoL ; Arigony 1984: 89, 90, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 100, 116, fig. 27, 28, 33, 40, 49, 56, 63-66; Santos-Silva 2002: 32 (note).

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

Male ( Fig. 387 View Figure 385-390 ). Dorsal surface of head finely, sparsely punctate; gibbosities separated by deep furrow, and with projection in posterior part near longitudinal furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina with depression well defined; ocular carina narrow, without bifurcation in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes; area behind eyes more coarsely punctate than dorsal surface of head. Eyes ( Fig. 86 View Figure 75-89 ) moderately narrow; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 387 View Figure 385-390 ) distinct, but without abrupt declivity towards posterior part of head. Central area of clypeus oblique. Labrum tumid at middle-basal area; central projection ( Fig. 1 View Figure 1-44 ) moderately wide, truncate at apex. Submentum barely depressed, sparsely, shallowly punctate; pilosity short and very sparse; anterior margin moderately narrow and elevated. Mandibles ( Fig. 141 View Figure 118-147 ) not falciform; inner margin with two teeth together protracted and distinctly separated at their apices; dorsal carina narrow and not notably elevated. Galea ( Fig. 201 View Figure 200-209. 200-204 ). Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI visible from side ( Fig. 226 View Figure 218-234 ) and divided by clear carina; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI moderately large.

Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate at central area, and coarser and more abundantly punctate laterally; anterior edge slightly concave centrally; anterior angles clearly projected forward. Elytra abundantly, somewhat coarsely punctate, but finer and sparser towards suture on basal two-thirds, and all of apical third; each elytron with one carina visible. Wings as in Fig. 210 View Figure 210-217. 210-214 . Metasternum glabrous, with punctures shallow, coarser laterally. Metafemur ( Fig. 388 View Figure 385-390 ) moderately elongate. Dorsal face of metatibiae longitudinally sulcate. Metatarsomere V approximately as long as I-III together ( Fig. 269 View Figure 252-276. 252-257 ).

Female ( Fig. 389 View Figure 385-390 ). Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 2 View Figure 1-44 ). Mandibles as in Fig. 142 View Figure 118-147 . Punctation of head, pronotum, and elytra as in males.

Variability. Integument brown. Males: gibbosities of dorsal surface of head separated by shallow furrow; projection of gibbosities in posterior part near longitudinal furrow, barely visible; central area of clypeus barely oblique; central projection of labrum rounded at apex; submentum not depressed; submentum flat; submentum transversely striate; anterior margin of submentum barely elevated. Female: punctation of basal two-thirds of elytra, close to suture, and laterally.

Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 13.0-16.0/15.1-18.2; prothorax: length, 2.9-3.3/3.2-4.0; anterior width, 3.3-4.0/3.6-4.4; posterior width, 2.6-3.5/3.6-4.2; humeral width, 3.2-4.1/ 4.0-5.0; elytral length, 7.5-9.0/9.0-11.1.

Geographical distribution ( Fig. 318 View Figure 317-322 ). Papua New Guinea (New Guinea, Normamby Island), and Indonesia (Irian Jaya).

Type, type locality. According to Gressitt (1959) the holotype male is from Western Highlands (Wum), deposited at BPBM, and there are twenty-eight (28) paratypes, deposited at BMNH, USNM, CASC, BPBM, CSIR, RMNH, MZBI, CNHM, and DASF. Gressitt (1959) recorded that the holotype and some paratypes from Wum collected July 16, 1955 by him, and some from Bulolo collected August 22-23, 1956 by him are deposited at BPBM. We examined two paratypes males from Wum and Bulolo, deposited at BPMB, that don’t agree with that data (see “Material examined”).

Comments. Papuandra araucariae is the only species in this genus with the mandibles of the male and female similar. It was common to find specimens from New Guinea in many collections misidentified as P. araucariae . See comments on P. norfolkensis , from Norfolk Island.
