 Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head, mandibles, scape, margins of the pronotum, epipleura and elytral suture, and parts of legs blackish.   
Male (Fig. 478). Dorsal face of head, on gibbosities, coarsely and moderately abundantly punctate; longitudinal depression between gibbosities smooth; area behind gibbosities with transverse region smooth, interrupted in the middle by punctures as coarse as on gibbosities, and with similar punctures, moderately sparse, between that region and occiput; area behind depression, between gibbosities and ocular carina, coarsely and partially confluently punctate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina distinctly depressed, moderately, coarsely punctate at anterior and posterior edges; area behind eyes coarsely and moderately sparsely punctate; punctation behind bifurcation of ocular carina just coarse and sparse; ocular carina elevated, distinctly bifurcated in “Y” near the posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 478). Eyes moderately narrow (Fig. 117); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 478) distinct. Central area of clypeus oblique close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 72) wide, slightly rounded at apex, and with a feeble projection in middle. Submentum depressed, more distinctly from middle to anterior edge; punctation moderately coarse and sparse; pilosity moderately long and sparse; anterior edge elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin (Fig. 194) placed around middle. Antennae reaching posterior angles of prothorax; ventral sensorial area of antennomere III-XI not visible from side (Fig. 257), and not divided by carina; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI moderately small, narrow and elliptical.  
Lateral margins of prothorax subparallel at anterior two-thirds towards anterior angles. Pronotum finely, moderately abundantly punctate at central region, gradually coarser laterally, mainly close to anterior angles; lateral area microsculptured, more distinctly close to anterior angles; anterior edge not sinuous at central region; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles not distinct; posterior angles well marked. Basal two-thirds of elytra coarsely, abundantly punctate, mainly laterally on basal third and across medial third; punctation of apical third finer, more abundant and concentrated; each elytron with two distinct carinae. Metasternum with punctures coarse, moderately abundant laterally, gradually finer and sparser towards metasternal suture. Metafemur (Fig. 479) moderately short. Dorsal face of the metatibia slightly rounded at basal half, and flat at apical half; in dorsal view narrow, mainly at apical half. Metatarsomere V (without claws) just shorter than I-III together (Fig. 299); in dorsal view (Fig. 303) not enlarged at basal half.  
Male genitalia: median lobe short, forming a flattened tube, with two elongate struts at base, apex narrowly rounded and distinctly incised at middle (Fig. 311); parameres short, forming a ring, with a pair of pointed processes, separate near their base in dorsal view, apical lobes short and wide, stout relatively narrow (Fig. 310).  
Female (Fig. 480). Head moderately wide; dorsal face coarsely and abundantly punctate throughout, mainly behind gibbosities. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 73) moderately wide, slightly rounded at apex. Mandible as in Fig. 195. Pronotum with punctation as in male, but microsculptured lateral area less distinct; anterior angles distinctly projected forward; anterior edge as in male. Antennae almost reaching the basal fourth of the pronotum.  
 Variability. Integument from brown to dark-brown. Male: longitudinal depression between gibbosities of dorsal face of head, with some punctures; smooth area behind gibbosities of dorsal face of head, not interrupted at middle by punctures; punctation of area near occiput distinctly coarser than on gibbosities; depression of dorsal face of head with punctures in the middle; bifurcation in “Y” of ocular carina not well defined; central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front; central projection of the labrum truncate and without central projection; antennae reaching basal margin of pronotum; anterior angles of the pronotum distinctly projected forward; each elytron with one carina well marked, and another barely marked; dorsal face of metatibiae slightly sulcate at apical half. Female: antennae almost reaching base of pronotum.   
 Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 13.4-18.1/16.0-18.1; prothorax: length, 3.0-4.1/3.6-3.9; anterior width, 3.5-5.2/4.0-4.9; posterior width, 2.8-4.0/3.6-3.8; humeral width, 3.6-5.0/ 4.5-5.0; elytral length, 7.7-10.3/9.7-11.1.   
 Comments. Komiyandra uenoi and K. shibatai each have male genitalia with a short median lobe and short parameres. Komiyandra formosana and K. lanyuana each have a longer median lobe and longer parameres than those of K. uenoi and K. shibatai. These four species can be readily distinguished from each other based on the different form of the apex of median lobe and parameres of the male genitalia (Fig. 304-311).
