Komiyandra sulawesiana View in CoL sp. nov.

( Fig. 55, 56 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 , 106 View Figure 105-117 , 177, 178 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 , 246 View Figure 235-251 , 289 View Figure 277-299 , 336 View Figure 335-340 , 445-447 View Figure 441-446 View Figure 447-453 )

Etymology. The name refers to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.

Type material. Holotype M, INDONESIA, Sulawesi, South Sulawesi: Pulu-Pulu , III.1999, ( MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya) . Paratypes (1 M, 1 F), as follows: INDONESIA, Sulawesi, West Sulawesi: Tabone (1 km Mamasa), M, I.2004, ( ZKCO). Java, West Java: Puncak, F, VII.26.2002, H. Chen coll. ( ZKCO).

Description. Integument brown very dark dorsally, dark brown ventrally (lighter on metasternum, urosternites and legs).

Male ( Fig. 445 View Figure 441-446 ). Head wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, finely, sparsely punctate; central area between gibbosities and occiput almost impunctate; gibbosities strongly distinct, separated by deep and wide furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina with distinct depression, smooth; ocular carina elevated, wide, bifurcated in “Y” ( Fig. 445 View Figure 441-446 ) near posterior edge of eyes (bifurcation not strongly evident); area behind eyes coarsely, abundantly, in part confluently punctate (clearly finer and sparser close to eyes). Eyes ( Fig. 106 View Figure 105-117 ) narrow and elongated; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 445 View Figure 441-446 ) clearly distinct. Central area of clypeus vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 55 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) narrow and subacute at apex. Submentum depressed, vermiculate, coarsely, sparsely punctate towards gula, and finer and more abundant close to anterior edge; pilosity short and sparse; anterior margin elevated throughout, wide. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles ( Fig. 177 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed after middle, together protracted, and separated just at apex. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side ( Fig. 246 View Figure 235-251 ), and divided by carina.

Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate at central region; laterally microsculptured and granulated (granules larger and more abundant at anterior half); anterior edge ( Fig. 445 View Figure 441-446 ) sinuous; anterior angles distinct, not projected forward; lateral angles distinct, widely rounded; posterior angles rounded; area close to posterior angles convex. Anterior two-thirds of elytra with fine and sparse punctation towards suture, coarser laterally; apical third finely punctate throughout; each elytron with two carinae. Metasternum with moderately fine and sparse punctation laterally. Metafemur ( Fig. 446 View Figure 441-446 ) elongated. Dorsal face of metatibiae rounded. Metatarsomere V ( Fig. 289 View Figure 277-299 ) longer than I-III together.

Female ( Fig. 447 View Figure 447-453 ). Labrum ( Fig. 56 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) as in male. Mandibles ( Fig. 178 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ). Pronotum without granules laterally.

Variability. Males: punctation of submentum, close to anterior edge, abundant but not finer; Metasternum with punctures moderately coarse and abundant laterally.

Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 24,5-25.6/26.0; prothorax: length, 5.4- 5.5/5.0; anterior width, 7.0-7.4/5.7; posterior width, 5.6-5.7/5.5; humeral width, 6.9-7.4/7.4; elytral length, 14.0-14.5/16.7.

Comments. Komiyandra sulawesiana is very similar to K. janus , but differs by the: punctation of the head, of the pronotum, and mainly of the elytra ( Fig. 445 View Figure 441-446 ), clearly finer; labrum longer, clearly projected laterally ( Fig. 55, 56 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ); posterior angles of the pronotum rounded. In K. janus , the punctation of the head, of the pronotum, and of the elytra is coarser ( Fig. 405 View Figure 403-409 ), the labrum is shorter, and is slightly projected laterally ( Fig. 31 View Figure 1-44 , 407 View Figure 403-409 ), and the posterior angles of the pronotum are very distinct and in almost a right angle.

According to the label on the female paratype, the specimen was collected in Java (Puncak). It is possible that the specimen had been labeled incorrectly, mainly because there is also a locality in Sulawesi named Puncak.
