Description. Integument shining, chestnut; parts of head and mandibles, margins of pronotum, scutellum, and elytral suture, blackish.

Male ( Fig. 392 ). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities, with punctures fine and abundant; central area, between gibbosities and occiput, with punctures sparser than on gibbosities; gibbosities separated by moderately shallow furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina barely depressed; ocular carina narrow, with bifurcation in “Y” indicated near posterior edge of eyes; area behind eyes just coarsely, sparsely punctate. Eyes ( Fig. 88 ) narrow; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 392 ) distinct, with abrupt declivity towards posterior part of head. Central area of clypeus vertical. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 4 ) narrow and subrounded at apex. Submentum barely depressed, sparsely and shallowly punctate; pilosity short and sparse; anterior margin moderately narrow and elevated. Mandibles sub-falciform; inner margin with two teeth together protracted (completely fused at apex); dorsal carina narrow and clearly elevated. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side ( Fig. 228 ), and not divided by carina; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI small.

Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate in central area, and coarser and more abundant laterally; anterior edge slightly sinuous centrally; anterior angles clearly projected forward. Elytra abundantly and coarsely punctate at basal 3/4, and finer on apical fourth; each elytron with two carinae. Metasternum and metepisterna glabrous, with punctures coarse and abundant (laterally on metasternum). Metafemur ( Fig. 393 ) elongated. Dorsal face of metatibia clearly sulcate only on apical half. Metatarsomere V (without claws) as long as I-III together ( Fig. 271 ).

Female ( Fig. 394 ). Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 5 ). Mandibles as in Fig. 145 . Punctation of head, pronotum and elytra as in males.

Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 15.1/15.0-19.0; prothorax: length, 3.4/ 3.0-3.8; anterior width, 4.5/3.5-4.7; posterior width, 4.0/3.3-4.6; humeral width, 4.4/3.9-5.3; elytral length, 8.8/9.4-11.7.

Comments. Papuandra weigeli is similar in general appearance to P. araucariae . It differs by the: mandible of the males sub-falciform; sensorial area of the antennomeres III-XI not visible from the side, and not divided by carina; gibbosities of the dorsal face of the head without a protuberance in the posterior part near the longitudinal furrow. In P. araucariae the mandible of the males is not sub-falciform, the sensorial area of the antennomeres III-XI is visible from the side and are divided by carina, and the gibbosities of the dorsal face of the head have a projection in the posterior part near the longitudinal furrow.
