Etymology. The name refers to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines (noun in apposition).
Type material. Holotype M, from PHILIPPINES, Mindanao, Northern Mindanao Region, Misamis Oriental: Mount Balatukan (15 km SW of Gingoog; 1000-2000m), V.1-5.1960, H. Torrevillas coll. ( BPBM) . Paratypes (1 M, 3 F), as follows: PHILIPPINES, Mindanao, Davao Region, Davao del Sur: Baracatan (1500m), F, VI.27-29.1977, M. Sato coll. ( EELE). Mindanao , Soccsksargen Region, South Cotabato: Lake Sebu (124 o 42’E, 6 o 13N; 700m), F, IX.1993, Pascal Lays coll. ( IRSN). Autonomous Region in Muslim GoogleMaps Mindanao, Basilan: Basilan Island, M, VI-VII.1990, [no collector indicated] ( KMCT); F, VI-VII.1990, [no collector indicated] ( MZSP).
Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head and of mandibles, margins of pronotum, elytral suture, extreme apex of femora, and extreme base of tibiae blackish.
Male ( Fig. 435 View Figure 435-440 ). Head moderately wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, with punctures coarse and moderately abundant, not confluent; area near posterior ocular carina with same kind of punctures as on gibbosities, in part confluent; area between gibbosities and occiput coarse and not confluently punctate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina depressed, smooth in the most part; area behind eyes coarsely, sparsely punctate; ocular carina elevated, with bifurcation in “Y”, near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 435 View Figure 435-440 ) slightly visible. Eyes narrow ( Fig. 102 View Figure 90-104 ); posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 435 View Figure 435-440 ) distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 49 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum very slightly depressed; punctation coarse and sparse; pilosity short and sparse (slightly longer at central region); anterior margin wide and elevated throughout. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles ( Fig. 170 View Figure 148-176 ) placed approximately in middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side ( Fig. 242 View Figure 235-251 ), and not divided by carina.
Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate on disc, gradually coarser and more abundantly punctate laterally (deeper towards the anterior angles); anterior edge barely convex at middle; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles slightly indicated; posterior angles barely distinct, in a straight angle. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate: anterior two-thirds, near suture, with punctures finer and sparser than area around elytral curvature (between disc and epipleura), and sparser than at area between curvature and epipleura; apical third with punctures finer than in area near suture at basal twothirds, and clearly more abundant. Metasternum with punctures coarser laterally, gradually finer and sparser toward metasternal suture. Metafemur ( Fig. 436 View Figure 435-440 ) elongated. Dorsal surface of tibiae flat. Metatarsus (without claws) shorter than metatibiae ( Fig. 285 View Figure 277-299 ); metatarsomere V barely longer than I-III together.
Female ( Fig. 437 View Figure 435-440 ). Head proportionally narrower; punctures at dorsal surface of head more abundant than in male; central projection of labrum ( Fig. 50 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) narrow and truncate at apex. Mandible ( Fig. 171 View Figure 148-176 ).
Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 15.8/18.0-19.5; prothorax: length, 3.3/ 3.7-4.0; anterior width, 4.3/4.1-4.5; posterior width, 3.4/3.8-4.2; humeral width, 4.0/4.7-5.4; elytral length, 9.2/10.8-12.4.
Comments. The holotype male of K. mindanao is similar to males of K. javana , of which it differs by closer elytral punctation, by the anterior edge of the pronotum ( Fig. 435 View Figure 435-440 ) not sinuous (wide and slightly sinuous at middle area), and by the metafemora ( Fig. 436 View Figure 435-440 ) more elongate. In males of K. javana , the elytral punctation is sparser, the anterior edge of the pronotum ( Fig. 419 View Figure 416-421 ) is sinuous (with emargination very distinct at middle area), and the metafemora ( Fig. 420 View Figure 416-421 ) are shorter and wider. The paratype female of K. mindanao differs from the paratypes females of K. javana and K. philippinensis ( Fig. 433 View Figure 428-434 ), mainly, by the head narrower. The holotype male differs from the males of K. philippinensis , mainly, by the absence of the bifurcation in “Y” of the ocular carina (present in K. philippinensis ).
