description: Komiyandra drumonti sp. nov.   
(Fig. 64, 112, 186, 252, 295, 318, 463-465)  
 Etymology. Dedicated to our colleague, Mr. Alain Drumont, of Belgium, who has extensively published on Cerambycidae, and provided important specimens for this study.   
 Type material. Holotype M, PAPUA NEW GUINEA, East Sepik: Maprik, 5.XI.1995, [no collector indicated] (MZSP – donated by Ziro Komiya).   
 Description. Integument dark-brown; elytra slightly lighter; parts of head and of mandibles, and margins of pronotum blackish; margins of scutellum and elytral suture very dark-brown.   
Male (Fig. 463). Dorsal face of head coarsely, abundantly punctate, mainly on gibbosities; area between gibbosities and ocular carina clearly depressed, punctate at anterior and posterior third; ocular carina elevated, clearly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 463); area behind eyes with coarse and somewhat sparse punctation. Eyes (Fig. 112) moderately narrow; posterior ocular edge (Fig. 463) distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 64) wide (probably truncate at apex). Submentum depressed, transversally vermiculate; coarsely and moderately abundantly punctate; pilosity short and sparse; anterior edge elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin (Fig. 186) placed approximately at middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side, and not divided by carina (Fig. 252).  
Pronotum punctation fine and sparse in middle region, gradually coarser and more abundant laterally, mainly near anterior angles; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles barely marked; posterior angles obtuse. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate, coarser and more abundant laterally of anterior two-thirds, and more abundant at apical third; each elytron with two carinae barely marked. Metasternum coarsely and abundantly punctate laterally and area close to metacoxae, gradually finer and sparser towards the metasternal suture. Metafemur (Fig. 464) short and enlarged. Dorsal face of metatibia flat. Metatarsomere V (without claws) longer than I-III together (Fig. 295).  
 Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 22.5; prothorax: length, 4.8; anterior width, 5.9; posterior width, 4.9; humeral width, 5.9; elytral length, 12.4.   
 Comments. Komiyandra drumonti is similar, in general aspect, to K. philippinensis (Fig. 431), K. javana (Fig. 419), K. niisatoi (Fig. 460), K. mindoro and K. menieri (Fig. 450). It differs from all them, principally, by the more flattened elytra, and by the body clearly compressed dorsoventrally (Fig. 465). In K. philippinensis, for example, the elytra are more convex, and the body is not compressed dorsoventrally (Fig. 433).   
The teeth of the inner margin on both mandibles, and the apex of the central projection of labrum are broken in the holotype.
