Description

Komiyandra johkii sp. nov.

(Fig. 69, 115, 191, 254, 323, 473, 474)

Etymology. Dedicated to Mr. Yutaka Johki, Showa Women’s University, Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan for his assistance in providing specimens used in our work.

Type material. Holotype M, Malaysia, Sabah: Mamut (1300 m), VIII.13.1987, M. Kon coll. (UMSM).

Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head, mandibles, margins of pronotum, epipleura, elytral suture, and parts of legs blackish.

Male (Fig. 473). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities, somewhat coarsely and abundantly punctate; area between gibbosities and occiput with the same kind of punctures as those on the gibbosities, but sparser; area between gibbosities and ocular carina slightly depressed, somewhat finely punctate near clypeus; area behind eyes coarsely and moderately sparsely punctate; ocular carina elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 473), but with confluent punctures in the area where usually there is the bifurcation. Eyes narrow (Fig. 115); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 473) very distinct. Central area of clypeus oblique close to front. Labrum somewhat convex centrally; central projection (Fig. 69) wide and rounded at apex. Submentum moderately depressed; punctation moderately coarse, well defined and more abundant near mentum; pilosity moderately long, sparse; anterior margin wide and elevated throughout. Mandibles shorter than head; teeth of inner margin (Fig. 191) placed around middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side, and not divided by carina (Fig. 254).

Pronotum moderately finely, sparsely punctate on disc, and distinctly coarser laterally, where the surface is distinctly microsculptured and granulated; anterior angles slightly projected forward, rounded; lateral angles just indicated; posterior angles well marked; anterior edge (Fig. 473) 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. 474) moderately elongated. Urosternites abundantly punctate. Dorsal surface of metatibiae rounded; laterally not longitudinally sulcated.

Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 16.3; prothorax: length, 3.4; anterior width, 4.2; posterior width, 3.4; humeral width, 4.3; elytral length, 10.0.

Comments. Komiyandra johkii differs from K. koni male (Fig. 469) by the: pronotum distinctly granulated laterally (mainly close to the anterior angles); ocular carina not bifurcated in “Y’ near posterior edge of eyes; labrum somewhat convex centrally and with central projection rounded at apex (Fig. 69); tibiae rounded dorsally and not sulcated laterally. In male of K. koni, the pronotum is not granulated laterally or the granules are just indicated, the ocular carina is distinctly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes or, at least, the bifurcation is indicated, the labrum is flat centrally and the central projection is truncated (Fig. 67), and the tibiae is flat dorsally and distinctly sulcated laterally.

The holotype is damaged: lacking antennomere XI of right antenna; lacking antennomeres VIII-XI of left antenna; lacking tarsus of right front leg; lacking tarsomere V of left front leg; right middle leg without 2/3 of tibia and without tarsus; left tibia without metatarsomere V; right hind leg without tibia and tarsus; left hind leg without 2/3 of tibia and without tarsus.
