Komiyandra mindoro View in CoL sp. nov.
( Fig. 61 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 , 110 View Figure 105-117 , 183 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 , 250 View Figure 235-251 , 293 View Figure 277-299 , 346, 458, 459)
Etymology. The name refers to the island of Mindoro in the Philippines (noun in apposition).
Type material. Holotype M, PHILIPPINES, Mimaropa Region, Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro: Mount Halcon , VI.2007, [no collector indicated] ( MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya) . Paratype (1 M), same data as holotype ( ZKCO).
Description. Integument very dark-brown; head and mandibles black.
Male ( Fig. 458 View Figure 454-460 ). Dorsal face of head, on gibbosities and between that and occiput, moderately, coarsely and abundantly punctate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina clearly depressed, with punctures somewhat coarse and sparse near clypeus; ocular carina elevated, clearly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 458 View Figure 454-460 ). Eyes ( Fig. 110 View Figure 105-117 ) moderately narrow; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 458 View Figure 454-460 ) very distinct. Central area of clypeus vertical, with strong depressions laterally. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 61 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide and slightly rounded at apex. Submentum depressed; coarse and only sparse punctation; pilosity moderately long and sparse; anterior edge elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin ( Fig. 183 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed at apical half. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side, and not divided by carina ( Fig. 250 View Figure 235-251 ).
Pronotum convex, including basal third, with punctures just fine and moderately abundant at central region, coarser and more abundant laterally, mainly near anterior angles; anterior edge sinuous; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles rounded, barely marked; posterior angles distinct, almost in right angle. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate at basal two-thirds, finer and more abundant at apical third; each elytron with two carinae. Metasternum coarsely, moderately punctate laterally, and finer, sparser towards metasternal suture. Metafemur ( Fig. 459 View Figure 454-460 ) slightly enlarged. Dorsal face of metatibia flat. Metatarsomere V (without claws) longer than I-III together ( Fig. 293 View Figure 277-299 ).
Variability. Central projection of labrum wide and truncate at apex.
Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 19.1-20.4; prothorax: length, 4.2-4.4; anterior width, 5.1-5.2; posterior width, 4.3-4.7; humeral width, 5.1-5.7; elytral length, 10.7-11.9.
Comments. Komiyandra mindoro is similar to K. philippinensis ( Fig. 431 View Figure 428-434 ), from which it differs by the integument almost blackish, and by the presence of depressions laterally to the vertical area of the clypeus. In K. philippinensis , the integument is lighter brown, and there are not depressions laterally to the vertical area of the clypeus.
