notal disc with anterior margin ecarinate, strongly coriaceous. Metapectal-propodeal complex with lateral and posterior areas ecarinate. Metasoma (Figure 152). Tergal process with shallow, subtriangular and sublateral pair of depression, 0.24 x as long as tergite II, diverging posterad, with very long and thin setae on anterior and lateral areas, inner margin of depression slightly or strongly higher than median region of tergite II; each depression with large tubercle on its inner area, conical in longitudinal section, high, entirely laterad, with broad pit on top, with small tuft of setae posterad. Hypopygium (Figure 243) with median stalk evenly narrow, 1.24 x as long as hypopygial plate; lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin straight or nearly so. Genitalia (Figures 451-453). Aedeagal dorsal body with apex lower than parameral apex, evenly wide, narrowing abruptly apicad; apex with bilobed and crenulated projection on ventral region. Aedeagal ventral ramus with apex lower than aedeagal dorsal body apex, deeply bifurcated on apical region; apical region subangled and smooth. Genital ring straight, each half straight in dorsal view.
FEMALE: Unknown.
REMARKS — The median stalk of hypopygium is slightly broken, so the rate of length of median stalk and length of hypopygial plate could be inaccurate.
ETYMOLOGY — The noun in apposition papai means mushroom in Tok Pisin.
