Komiyandra mehli sp. nov.

( Fig. 51, 52 , 103 , 172, 173 , 243 , 286 , 335 , 438-440 )

Parandra janus (part); Lansberge 1884: 135.

Etymology. Dedicated to our colleague, Mr. Ole Mehl, of Denmark, who collected the type series and provided important specimens for our work.

Type material. Holotype M, from INDONESIA, Maluku Province: Seram (Maluku; Elamata, 500 m, Manusela National Park ), X.23.1998, Ole Mehl coll. ( OMCO) . Paratypes (3 M, 3 F), as follows: 1 M, 2 F, same data of holotype ( OMCO) ; M, same data as holotype ( MZSP) ; F, same data as holotype ( DHCO) ; Lumute , M, XI.21-30.1989, K. Fujita coll. ( KMCT) .

Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; mandibles, parts of head, parts of legs, and edge of the pro- and mesocoxal cavities darker.

Male ( Fig. 438 ). Head moderately wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, with fine and moderately abundant punctures, not confluent; area between gibbosities and occiput with coarse punctures; area close to eyes with large confluent punctures; frontal gibbosities well marked, separated by a deep and wide furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina smooth and depressed; ocular carina elevated, bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 438 ); area behind eyes smooth. Eyes narrow ( Fig. 103 ); posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 438 ) distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 51 ) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum barely depressed, with large, shallow and moderately abundant punctures; margin close to mentum moderately wide and elevated; pilosity sparse, present throughout. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles ( Fig. 172 ) placed at middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not divided by carina ( Fig. 243 ) and not visible from side.

Pronotum coarsely and abundantly punctate at sides (mainly in anterior half); center of disc finely, sparsely punctate; anterior edge ( Fig. 438 ) clearly sinuous; anterior angles projected forward; lateral angles barely marked; posterior angles marked, obtuse and distinct. Elytra somewhat coarsely, abundantly punctate (finer, sparser in circum-scutellar area); elytral carinae barely marked. Metasternum moderately, coarsely punctate laterally. Metafemur ( Fig. 439 ) elongated. Dorsal face of tibiae flat at basal half, barely furrowed at apical half. Metatarsus (without claws) approximately as long as metatibia; metatarsomere V longer than I-III together.

Female ( Fig. 440 ). Smooth area of head, between gibbosities and ocular carina, barely depressed; punctures on gibbosities coarser than in males; punctures between the gibbosities and occiput more abundant than in male. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 52 ) narrow and rounded. Ocular carina not bifurcated. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI and submentum as in male. Mandibles ( Fig. 173 ) with punctures and pilosity more sparse than in male. Pronotal punctures as in male; anterior angles clearly projected forward. Elytral punctures, elytral carinae, and dorsal face of tibiae as in male, and with the same variations.

Variability. Integument from dark-brown to brown. Males: dorsal surface of head, between gibbosities and occiput, with punctures barely coarse; dorsal face of head close to eyes with coarse punctures, not confluent; bifurcation in “Y” of ocular carina barely marked; area behind eyes with coarse and sparse punctures; central area of clypeus vertical close to front; anterior margin of pronotum barely sinuous; anterior angles of pronotum barely projected forward; elytral carinae well marked; dorsal surface of tibiae rounded throughout. Female: punctures of dorsal surface of head, between gibbosities and occiput, as in males; central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front; apex of labrum moderately wide and truncate; punctures of sides of pronotum slightly more sparse than in males.

Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 17.5-19.7/16.9-20.8; prothorax: length, 3.8-4.4/3.5-4.3; anterior width, 4.5-5.4/4.2-5.1; posterior width, 3.7-4.6/3.6-4.6; humeral width, 4.5-5.4/ 4.6-5.5; elytral length, 9.5-11.2/10.2-12.1.

Comments. Komiyandra mehli differs from K. shibatai , K. lanyuana , and K. formosana , by the head ( Fig. 438, 440 ), in general, longer behind the eyes, and by the antennae, in both sexes, proportionally shorter (length equals to 1.1 times the pronotal length in the central region). In K. shibatai , K. lanyuana and K. formosana , the head ( Fig. 410, 412, 413, 415 , 416, 418 ) is shorter after the eyes, and the antennae are proportionally longer (length, at least, 1.2 times the pronotal length in the central region).

Differs from K. philippinensis by the punctures of the dorsal surface of head, coarse and in general confluent at the area near the eyes (area of the bifurcation), and by the meso- and metatarsomeres ( Fig. 286 ) shorter. In K. philippinensis , the punctation of the dorsal surface of the head is finer and sparser, and the meso- and metatarsomeres ( Fig. 284 ) are longer.

From K. nayani and K. ohbayashii , differs mainly by the apex of labrum of the males wide and truncate (narrow and subacute in K. nayani , and narrow and rounded or subtruncate in K. ohbayashii ).

Differs from K. luzonica and K. janus by the apex of labrum of the males ( Fig. 51 ) wide and truncate, and by the sensorial area of antennae not carinate. In K. luzonica and K. janus , the apex of labrum of the male ( Fig. 407 ) is narrow and subacute, and the sensorial area of antennae is clearly carinate.
