description: Komiyandra, new genus   
 Etymology. Dedicated to our colleague, Mr. Ziro Komiya (Komiya + Parandra), of Japan, who has published numerous papers on Oriental Prioninae and provided many of the important specimens for this study. Feminine gender.   
 Type species. Parandra janus Bates, 1875.   
 Description. Dorsal area of head, between eyes, with gibbosities well marked, separated by furrow deep or barely deep, without central depression in “V”. Ocular carina elevated and distinct from middle to clypeus. Eyes (Fig. 94) narrow (maximum width equal to 0.4 times the total length); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 452) prominent or very prominent; anterior ocular edge with concavity well marked. Frontoclypeal suture just visible laterally (sometimes absent). Central region of clypeus vertical, oblique or strongly oblique. Clypeolabral suture visible in full extension or only laterally. Central projection of male labrum varying from wide and truncate at apex to narrow and sharpened apically; central projection of female usually as in male, but when truncate, always narrower. Mandibles of major males (Fig. 177, 184) subfalciform (almost identical to female in minor males), shorter than head or slightly shorter, wide at base of latero-outer face (Fig. 114); dorsal carina elevated, well marked from base to apical third; inner margin with two teeth, together protracted, located in middle or after middle; apex with two large teeth, visible dorsally, and a third, small, not visible dorsally; outer face without large tooth around middle (Fig. 107). Mandibles of females (Fig. 169, 185) Birandra -like, wide at base of latero-outer face; dorsal carina elevated only at basal third, ending approximately in middle; inner margin with two teeth together protracted, located in middle; apex and outer face as in males. Mentum with hair long and sparse. Galea (Fig. 196, 200) long (surpassing the apex of second segment of maxillary palp). Ventral sensorial area of antennae (Fig. 235, 245) not visible from side, divided (Fig. 312, 313) or not by low carina, not visible from side (sometimes visible from the side on antennomere XI or X-XI); ventral sensorial area of antennomere XI not extending into dorsal area; dorsal sensorial area of antennomere XI small, well delimited, not divided by carina.   
 Pronotum strongly convex in apical half (close to head); anterior edge barely sinuous (mainly in males) to sinuous (mainly in females); anterior angles projected to front (usually more distinct in females); lateral angle very distinct and obtuse, or slightly distinct and obtuse (sometimes variable intraspecific); posterior angles distinct and obtuse (sometimes almost in right angle). Elytra punctate, usually distinctly and abundantly. Veins MP 3 and MP 4 fused at their apex (Fig. 211). Apex of prosternal process barely enlarged. Femora glabrous or sub-glabrous. Dorsal face of tibiae rounded, or flat or shallowly furrowed. Procoxal cavities clearly open behind. Paronychium with one seta (two setae in K. ohbayashii sp. nov.).

 Geographical distribution (Fig. 316). Japan (Ryukyu Islands), Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia (Borneo: Sabah), Indonesia (Borneo, Sulawesi, Ternate, Java, Lombok, Sumbawa, Moluccas, Irian Jaya, Sumatra, Sangihe, Seram).   
 Comments. Komiyandra differs from Birandra Santos-Silva, 2002, and Acutandra Santos-Silva, 2002, by mandibles of major males being sub-falciform (Fig. 162), and by veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 211) fused together at apices. In Birandra, mandibles of major males (Fig. 118) are clearly falciform and veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 212) are separate at apices. In Acutandra, mandibles of major males (Fig. 120) are very similar to that of females (not falciform or sub-falciform), and veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 205) are as in Birandra. Different from Archandra Lameere, 1912, and Parandra Latreille, 1802, because these genera have distinctly falciform mandibles in major males and veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 207, 208) not fused together at apices, and by procoxal cavities closed behind. From Neandra Lameere, 1912, different by procoxal cavities open behind, and presence of paronychium clearly exposed. In Neandra, procoxal cavities are closed behind, and paronychium not exposed. Different from Stenandra Lameere, 1912, by procoxal cavities open behind, and by the paronychium clearly exposed (closed and not exposed in Stenandra).
