( Fig. 57 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 , 107 View Figure 105-117 , 179 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 , 247 View Figure 235-251 , 290 View Figure 277-299 , 330 View Figure 329-334 , 448, 449 View Figure 447-453 , 454 View Figure 454-460 )
Etymology. The name refers to the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya, on the island of New Guinea.
Type material. Holotype M, from INDONESIA, New Guinea Island, Irian Jaya, West Papua: Fak-Fak , XII.2002, [no collector indicated] ( MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya).
Description. Integument brown; parts of head and of mandibles, margins of pronotum and of scutellum, elytral suture and extreme apex of the femurs blackish.
Male ( Fig. 448 View Figure 447-453 ). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities and between that and occiput, coarsely and abundantly punctuate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina strongly depressed, smooth ( Fig. 454 View Figure 454-460 ); area behind eyes with punctures similar to those of dorsal surface of head, sparser close to eyes; ocular carina elevated, clearly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 454 View Figure 454-460 ); area between bifurcation of ocular carina and eyes coarsely and abundantly punctate ( Fig. 454 View Figure 454-460 ). Eyes narrow; posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 107 View Figure 105-117 ) very distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 57 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum slightly depressed; punctation coarse and sparse, more abundant close to anterior edge; pilosity short, sparse; anterior edge wide, elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin ( Fig. 179 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed at middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side ( Fig. 247 View Figure 235-251 ), and not divided by carina.
Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate at central region, and gradually coarser and more abundantly punctate laterally, mainly close to anterior angles ( Fig. 454 View Figure 454-460 ); anterior edge concave at central region; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles well marked, rounded; posterior angles distinct, obtuse. Elytra coarsely, abundantly punctate, mainly laterally of anterior two-thirds; each elytron with two clearly marked carinae. Metafemur ( Fig. 449 View Figure 447-453 ) moderately narrow and elongated. Dorsal face of metatibia rounded at basal half, and flat at apical half; in dorsal view, notably narrow. Metatarsomere I notably tumid, wide in lateral view ( Fig. 290 View Figure 277-299 ); metatarsomere V (without claws) longer than I-III together ( Fig. 290 View Figure 277-299 ).
Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 20.4; prothorax: length, 4.4; anterior width, 5.5; posterior width, 4.4; humeral width, 5.3; elytral length, 11.0.
Comments. Komiyandra irianjayana is similar to K. menieri and K. philippinensis . It differs from the first, mainly, by the longer metafemur ( Fig. 449 View Figure 447-453 ), by the metatibia clearly narrow in dorsal view, and by the metatarsomere I notably tumid, wide in lateral view ( Fig. 290 View Figure 277-299 ). In K. menieri , the metafemur is shorter ( Fig. 451 View Figure 447-453 ), the metatibia is not clearly narrow in dorsal view, and the metatarsomere I is not tumid, and is narrow in lateral view ( Fig. 291 View Figure 277-299 ). From K. philippinensis , differs by the punctation coarse and abundant in the area close to the bifurcation of the ocular carina ( Fig. 454 View Figure 454-460 ), by the outer face of the ocular carina, close to the anterior ocular edge, with punctures moderately coarse and abundant, and by the punctation coarser and more abundant at pronotal lateral. In K. philippinensis , the punctation of the area close to the bifurcation of the ocular carina ( Fig. 453 View Figure 447-453 ), of the outer face of the ocular carina, and of the pronotal lateral is finer and sparser.
