Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head, mandibles, margins of pronotum, epipleura, elytral suture, and parts of legs blackish.
Male ( Fig. 469 View Figure 467-472 ). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities, coarsely and abundantly punctate; area between gibbosities and occiput coarsely and somewhat sparser than on gibbosities; area between gibbosities and ocular carina strongly depressed, coarsely punctate (mainly towards the clypeus); area behind eyes coarsely and moderately sparsely punctate; ocular carina elevated, bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes ( Fig. 469 View Figure 467-472 ). Eyes narrow ( Fig. 114 View Figure 105-117 ); posterior ocular edge ( Fig. 469 View Figure 467-472 ) very distinct. Central area of clypeus oblique close to front. Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 67 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum moderately depressed; punctation coarse, well defined and more abundant toward mentum; pilosity moderately long, sparse; anterior margin wide and elevated throughout (somewhat depressed at middle). Mandibles shorter than head; teeth of inner margin ( Fig. 189 View Figure 177-199. 177-195 ) placed around middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side, and not divided by carina ( Fig. 256 View Figure 252-276. 252-257 ).
Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate on disc, and distinctly coarser laterally; anterior angles not projected forward, rounded; lateral angles just indicated; posterior angles well marked; anterior edge ( Fig. 469 View Figure 467-472 ) barely sinuous. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate (punctures finer at apical third and at anterior two-thirds near suture); each elytron with two vague carinae. Metasternum with punctures coarse and moderately abundant laterally, finer and sparser toward metasternal suture. Metafemur ( Fig. 470 View Figure 467-472 ) moderately elongated. Dorsal surface of metatibiae flat. Metatarsomere V (without claws) as long as I-III together ( Fig. 297 View Figure 277-299 ).
Female ( Fig. 472 View Figure 467-472 ). Central projection of labrum ( Fig. 68 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ) somewhat wide and subtruncate at apex. Mandibles ( Fig. 68 View Figure 45-74. 45-73 ).
Variability. Integument from pale-brown to dark-brown; punctation on the gibbosities of dorsal face of head moderately sparse; area between the gibbosities of dorsal face of head and ocular carina almost impunctate; bifurcation of ocular carina slightly indicated; elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate in basal two-thirds including area near suture.
Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 15.1-21.9/19.0-20.3; prothorax: length, 3.2-4.5/3.7-4.1; anterior width, 3.9-5.4/4.4-4.7; posterior width, 3.3-4.2/4.0-4.3; humeral width, 3.8-5.9/ 5.0-5.6; elytral length, 9.1-11.9/11.7-12.7.
Comments. Komiyandra koni is similar to K. philippinensis ( Fig. 431 View Figure 428-434 ), but differs by the: head somewhat elongated behind eyes ( Fig. 469 View Figure 467-472 ); pronotum and elytra slightly flatter ( Fig. 471 View Figure 467-472 ); urosternites more distinctly punctate ( Fig. 479 View Figure 474-480 ). In K. philippinensis , head is not elongated behind eyes ( Fig. 453 View Figure 447-453 ), pronotum and elytra are more convex ( Fig. 433 View Figure 428-434 ), and urosternites are less distinctly punctate ( Fig. 432 View Figure 428-434 ). It differs from K. javana ( Fig. 419 View Figure 416-421 ), K. mehli ( Fig. 438 View Figure 435-440 ), and K. sangihe ( Fig. 456 View Figure 454-460 ), among others differences, by urosternites more distinctly punctate. From K. drumonti ( Fig. 465 View Figure 461-466 ), it differs by the body less depressed ( Fig. 471 View Figure 467-472 ), and by the bifurcation of ocular carina less marked. From K. mindoro ( Fig. 458 View Figure 454-460 ), it differs by the body more depressed, by the integument less dark, and by bifurcation of ocular carina less marked. Differs from K. niisatoi ( Fig. 460 View Figure 454-460 ) by body somewhat more depressed and by antennomeres larger. Differs from K. lombokia ( Fig. 442 View Figure 441-446 ) by elytra distinctly more strongly punctate. From K. irianjayana ( Fig. 290 View Figure 277-299 ), it differs by metatarsomere I not enlarged ( Fig. 297 View Figure 277-299 ), by the pronotum less strongly punctate close to anterior angles, and by body slightly more depressed. Differs from K. mindanao ( Fig. 435 View Figure 435-440 ) by body more depressed, and by metafemur slender and longer. From K. menieri ( Fig. 450 View Figure 447-453 ) differs by body more depressed, by antennomeres larger, and by pronotum less punctate laterally. From K. formosana ( Fig. 413 View Figure 410-415 ) it differs by metatarsomere V narrowed at basal half (dorsal view). From K. shibatai ( Fig. 410 View Figure 410-415 ) it differs by two-thirds of the lateral margins of the pronotum parallel. Differs from K. lanyuana ( Fig. 416 View Figure 416-421 ) by tibia more distinctly sulcate laterally, and by body more depressed. Finally, it differs from K. uenoi ( Fig. 478 View Figure 474-480 ) by body more depressed, and by metatibiae more distinctly sulcated laterally.
