Komiyandra drumonti View in CoL sp. nov.

( Fig. 64 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 , 112 View Figure 105-117 , 186 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 , 252 View Figure 252-276. 252-257 , 295 View Figure 277-299 , 318 View Figure 317-322 , 463-465 View Figure 461-466 )

Etymology. Dedicated to our colleague, Mr. Alain Drumont, of Belgium, who has extensively published on Cerambycidae , and provided important specimens for this study.

Type material. Holotype M, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, East Sepik: Maprik , 5.XI.1995, [no collector indicated] ( MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya).

Description. Integument dark-brown; elytra slightly lighter; parts of head and of mandibles, and margins of pronotum blackish; margins of scutellum and elytral suture very dark-brown.

Male ( Fig. 463 View Figure 461-466 ). Dorsal face of head coarsely, abundantly punctate, mainly on gibbosities; area between gibbosities and ocular carina clearly depressed, punctate at anterior and posterior third; ocular carina elevated, clearly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 463 View Figure 461-466 ); area behind eyes with coarse and somewhat sparse punctation. Eyes ( Fig. 112 View Figure 105-117 ) moderately narrow; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 463 View Figure 461-466 ) distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 64 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide (probably truncate at apex). Submentum depressed, transversally vermiculate; coarsely and moderately abundantly punctate; pilosity short and sparse; anterior edge elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin ( Fig. 186 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed approximately at middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side, and not divided by carina ( Fig. 252 View Figure 252-276. 252-257 ).

Pronotum punctation fine and sparse in middle region, gradually coarser and more abundant laterally, mainly near anterior angles; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles barely marked; posterior angles obtuse. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate, coarser and more abundant laterally of anterior two-thirds, and more abundant at apical third; each elytron with two carinae barely marked. Metasternum coarsely and abundantly punctate laterally and area close to metacoxae, gradually finer and sparser towards the metasternal suture. Metafemur ( Fig. 464 View Figure 461-466 ) short and enlarged. Dorsal face of metatibia flat. Metatarsomere V (without claws) longer than I-III together ( Fig. 295 View Figure 277-299 ).

Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 22.5; prothorax: length, 4.8; anterior width, 5.9; posterior width, 4.9; humeral width, 5.9; elytral length, 12.4.

Comments. Komiyandra drumonti is similar, in general aspect, to K. philippinensis ( Fig. 431 View Figure 428-434 ), K. javana ( Fig. 419 View Figure 416-421 ), K. niisatoi ( Fig. 460 View Figure 454-460 ), K. mindoro and K. menieri ( Fig. 450 View Figure 447-453 ). It differs from all them, principally, by the more flattened elytra, and by the body clearly compressed dorsoventrally ( Fig. 465 View Figure 461-466 ). In K. philippinensis , for example, the elytra are more convex, and the body is not compressed dorsoventrally ( Fig. 433 View Figure 428-434 ).

The teeth of the inner margin on both mandibles, and the apex of the central projection of labrum are broken in the holotype.
