Komiyandra sangihe View in CoL sp. nov.
( Fig. 60 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 , 109 View Figure 105-117 , 182 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 , 249 View Figure 235-251 , 292 View Figure 277-299 , 339 View Figure 335-340 , 456, 457 View Figure 454-460 )
Etymology. The name refers to the island of Sangihe in Indonesia (noun in apposition).
Type material. Holotype M, INDONESIA, Sangihe Island , Tahuna, II.26.1987, Maeda coll. ( MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya) . Paratype M, same data as holotype ( ZKCO).
Description. Integument dark-brown; parts of head and of mandibles, margins of pronotum, and elytral suture blackish.
Male ( Fig. 456 View Figure 454-460 ). Head moderately wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, coarsely and abundantly punctate; central area, between gibbosities and occiput, with punctures just coarser than on gibbosities; area behind eyes coarsely and moderately sparsely punctate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina depressed, smooth; ocular carina elevated, bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 456 View Figure 454-460 ), but bifurcation is not strongly marked. Eyes narrow ( Fig. 109 View Figure 105-117 ), posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 456 View Figure 454-460 ) distinct. Central area of clypeus vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 60 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide and rounded at apex. Submentum slightly depressed; punctation coarse and moderately sparse; pilosity sparse, moderately short; anterior edge wide and elevated throughout. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles ( Fig. 182 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed approximately at middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side ( Fig. 249 View Figure 235-251 ), and not divided by carina.
Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate at central region, gradually coarser and more abundant laterally, mainly at anterior half that is microsculptured; anterior edge slightly sinuous; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles distinct, rounded; posterior angles distinct, obtuse. Prosternal process abruptly elevated at base (clearly more elevated than surface of prosternum in that area). Basal twothirds of elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate close to suture, and coarser and more abundantly punctate laterally; apical third coarsely and abundantly punctate; each elytron with two clearly marked carinae. Metasternum coarsely punctate, moderately sparse laterally. Metafemur ( Fig. 457 View Figure 454-460 ) moderately elongated. Dorsal face of metatibia flat, rounded at base. Metatarsomere V (without claws) as long as I-III together ( Fig. 292 View Figure 277-299 ).
Variability. Area behind eyes abundantly punctate; central projection of labrum wide and truncate at apex; anterior margin of pronotum nearly straight; anterior angles not projected forward.
Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 15.2-15.3 prothorax: length, 3.4-3.5; anterior width, 4.0; posterior width, 3.5-3.6; humeral width, 4.2; elytral length, 9.1-9.5.
Comments. Komiyandra sangihe is similar to K. mindanao . It differs, mainly, by the metafemora ( Fig. 457 View Figure 454-460 ) shorter and wider. It is also similar to K. philippinensis but differs by the bifurcation of the ocular carina slightly marked, and by the body more elongated (clear and more robust in K. philippinensis ).
