description: Komiyandra vivesi sp. nov.   
(Fig. 44, 104, 174, 244, 287, 337, 441)  
 Etymology. Dedicated to our colleague, Dr. Eduard Vives, of Spain, who has extensively published on Cerambycidae, and provided important specimens for this study.   
 Type material. Holotype M, PHILIPPINES, Mindanao, Northern Mindanao Region, Bukidnon, IV.29.2002, S. Cabigas coll. (EVCO).   
 Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head and of mandibles blackish; pedicel, antennomeres III-XI and legs brown.   
Male (Fig. 441). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities, barely coarsely, not abundantly punctate; central area, between gibbosities and occiput, smooth; lateral areas, between gibbosities and occiput, coarsely punctate (punctures, in part, confluent); area between gibbosities and ocular carina, depressed and with some fine punctures; area close to posterior ocular edge coarsely punctate; area behind eyes coarsely, moderately abundantly punctate (punctures not confluent); ocular carina elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 441). Eyes (Fig. 104) narrow and long; posterior ocular edge (Fig. 441) very distinct. Central area of clypeus oblique close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 44) narrow and rounded at apex. Submentum depressed (mainly at central region); punctures coarse, well marked, abundant and in part confluent (mainly close to anterior margin); pilosity somewhat long, very sparse; anterior margin wide and elevated. Mandibles shorter than head; teeth of inner margin (Fig. 174) placed a little after middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI divided by carina (Fig. 244), well marked, slightly visible from side at apical antennomeres.  
Pronotum finely, very sparsely punctate at disc, slightly coarser and more abundant laterally and at posterior angles, and clearly coarser towards anterior angles; anterior angles very slightly projected forward, but well marked and in an almost straight angle; lateral angles absent; posterior angles obtuse and well marked; anterior edge (Fig. 441) sinuous. Basal two-thirds of elytra moderately finely and sparsely punctate close to suture, clearly coarser and more abundant laterally, becoming finer near epipleura; punctation of apical third with same pattern of distribution as the basal two-thirds, but more abundant near the suture, and with lateral punctures finer. Metasternum with punctures somewhat coarse and sparse laterally. Metafemur just short. Dorsal face of metatibia slightly rounded at basal half, and flat at apical half; in dorsal view narrow, mainly at apical half. Metatarsomere V (without claws) with the same length of I-III together (Fig. 287).  
 Dimensions in mm (M). Total length (including mandibles), 18.8; prothorax: length, 4.2; anterior width, 5.4; posterior width, 4.3; humeral width, 5.1; elytral length, 10.6.   
 Comments. Komiyandra vivesi is similar to K. ohbayashii, but differs by the: anterior edge of labrum rounded (Fig. 44) at sides of the central projection; punctation of the head, of the pronotum, and of the elytra finer and sparser; eyes (Fig. 104) larger; metatarsomere I (Fig. 287) longer. In K. ohbayashii, the anterior edge of labrum (Fig. 42) is almost straight at sides of central projection, the punctation of the head, of the pronotum, and of the elytra is coarser and more abundant, and the eyes (Fig. 99) are shorter. Differs from K. nayani by the eyes longer, by the metatarsomere V (Fig. 287) shorter, and by the generally sparser punctation. In K. nayani, the eyes (Fig. 98) are shorter, the metatarsomere V (Fig. 281) is longer, and the general punctation is more abundant. Differs from K. luzonica by the lateral area of the pronotum near the anterior angles without small callosities, and by the elytral punctation coarser. In K. luzonica, the pronotal area near the anterior angles has many small callosities, and the elytral punctation is finer.
