Malukandra jayawijayana sp. nov.

( Fig. 19 , 78 , 127 , 218 , 261 , 330 , 364-365 )

Etymology. The name refers to the Jayawijaya region where the only known specimen has been collected.

Type-material. Holotype M, from INDONESIA, New Guinea Island, Irian Jaya, Papua: Bime ( Jayawijaya Region ; 1600-1900 m), IX.22.1993, A. Riedel coll. ( AWCO).

Description. Integument shining, reddish-brown; parts of dorsal surface of head, mandibles, borders of pronotum and scutellum, and sutural region of elytra dark-brown to black.

Male ( Fig. 364 ). Head wide; dorsal surface coarse, not confluently abundantly punctate (punctures coarser close to the eyes); area between gibbosities and ocular carina without depression; ocular carina wide and elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” ( Fig. 364 ); area behind eyes with coarse, abundant and well punctures. Eyes coarsely faceted; anterior ocular edge without concavity ( Fig. 78 ). Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 19 ) rounded. Submentum glabrous, coarsely, abundantly punctate; margin close to mentum wide, elevated throughout extension. Mentum glabrous. Mandibles ( Fig. 127 ) sub-falciform, barely longer than head; inner margin with two teeth together protracted, located at base, and another large tooth close to apex; punctures coarsely, moderately sparse. Antennomere XI not acute at apex; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI not divided by carina.

Prothorax transverse, clearly narrower at base than apex. Pronotum finely, moderately abundantly punctate (punctures coarser towards posterior angles); anterior edge barely concave at central region; anterior angles feebly projected forward; lateral angles slightly indicated; posterior angles well defined. Elytra coarsely, abundantly punctate (punctures just finer close to suture); elytral carina barely indicated. Metasternum coarsely, moderately sparsely punctate close to metepisterna, fine and sparse towards metasternal suture. Metafemur ( Fig. 365 ) clearly elongated. Metatarsus (without claws) shorter than metatibia; metatarsomere V barely longer than I-III together.

Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 13.3; prothorax: length, 2.5; anterior width, 3.2; posterior width, 2.7; humeral width, 3.2; elytral length, 7.7.

Comments. Male of Malukandra jayawijayana differs from M. heterostyla by the mandibles sub-falciform and longer than head. In M. heterostyla the mandibles are not falciform and are shorter than head.
