Stenandra Lameere, 1912

Parandra (Stenandra) Lameere, 1912: 114 ; 1913: 7 (cat.); 1919: 18; Gilmour 1956: 8.

Stenandra ; Quentin and Villiers 1972: 208 (new status); 1975: 20; Santos-Silva 2002: 30 (key).

Type species. Parandra kolbei Lameere, 1903 (monotypy).

Description. Dorsal face of head, mandibles, genae, pronotum, elytra (mainly at apical third), pro-, meso- and metasternum, and femora with short hair, relatively abundant.

Dorsal face of head convex, without gibbosities between eyes. Ocular carina absent; antennal tubercles large, placed almost dorsally on head, with their bases surpassing apex of eyes. Clypeus moderately long, oblique, clearly separated from front by suture. Labrum wide, short, concave; central projection narrow and sub-acute. Mandibles very similar in both sexes; as long as head in males, and as long as or shorter than head in females; triangular, with apex clearly curved inside; in males, separated at inner base; in females with inner base separated or not; outer face ( Fig. 93 ) narrow at base, and with small tooth close to apex; dorsal carina with its limits not evident by inclination and width of inner face (absence of abrupt declivity between top of carina and beginning of inner face); inner margin with a strong concavity close to basal tooth of apex, and without evident teeth between that concavity and base. Eyes ( Fig. 93 ) wide at ventral ocular lobes, and narrow at dorsal ocular lobes, emarginate; ocular posterior edge distinct. Mentum with hair very sparse. Galea extremely short, not reaching the base of first segment of maxillary palp. Antennae ( Fig. 215 ) surpassing base of elytra; ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI visible from side, divided by strong carina; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI large, deep, well delimited.

Pronotum convex; anterior edge slightly sinuous; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles absent; posterior angles distinct, almost in right angle. Elytra strongly punctate. Apex of prosternal process enlarged. Procoxal cavities closed behind (sometimes, slightly open). Paronychium absent.

Included species. Stenandra kolbei ( Lameere, 1903) ; S. vadoni Quentin and Villiers, 1972 .

Geographical distribution. Tropical Africa, Madagascar, and Vietnam ( Fig. 315 ).

Comments. The general appearance of Stenandra easily separates it from other genera of Parandrini , notably by the pilosity of the elytra and the form of the mandibles.
