 Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head and of mandibles, margins of pronotum, epipleura and elytral suture blackish.   
Male (Fig. 431). Dorsal surface of head, on gibbosities, somewhat fine and abundantly punctate; area between gibbosities and occiput somewhat coarser and sparser than on gibbosities; area between gibbosities and ocular carina strongly depressed, with some fine punctures; area behind eyes barely coarse and sparse; ocular carina elevated, clearly bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 453). Eyes narrow (Fig. 101); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 431) very distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 47) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum slightly depressed; punctation moderately coarse, well defined and sparse; pilosity moderately long, sparse; anterior margin wide and elevated throughout. Mandibles approximately as long as head; teeth of inner margin (Fig. 168) placed around middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI (Fig. 241) not visible from side, and not divided by carina.  
Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate on disc; area close to anterior angles microsculptured (Fig. 453), with punctures coarse and abundant, in part oblong and with edge toward outer side of pronotum elevated; median and posterior areas with punctures coarse and sparse; anterior angles not projected forward, but distinct; lateral angles barely indicated; posterior angles distinct; anterior edge (Fig. 431) 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. 432) moderately elongated. Dorsal surface of tibiae flat. Metatarsomere V (without claws) longer than I-III together (Fig. 284).  
Female (Fig. 434). Punctation of dorsal surface of head somewhat coarse and sparse throughout. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 48) narrow and rounded at apex. Mandible as in Fig. 169. Pronotum with same kind and distribution of punctures, but without microsculptured area near anterior angles, and without punctures with edge elevated; anterior angles clearly projected forward; anterior edge clearly sinuous.  
 Variability. Mandibles fully blackish.   
 Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 20.0-20.2/17.5-20.4; prothorax: length, 4.4-4.5/3.7-4.3; anterior width, 5.6-5.8/4.3-4.8; posterior width, 4.5-5.0/4.0-4.5; humeral width, 5.4-5.9/ 4.9-6.1; elytral length, 11.7-11.9/10.7-13.3.   
 Comments. Komiyandra philippinensis is similar to K. shibatai and K. lanyuana, but differs, mainly, by the body (Fig. 431) more robust. In K. shibatai (Fig. 410) and K. lanyuana (Fig. 416), the body is slimmer. Differs from K. javana by the ocular carina clearly bifurcated in “Y” near the posterior ocular edge (Fig. 453). In K. javana, the ocular carina is not bifurcated in “Y” (Fig. 419), or the bifurcation is slightly indicated. See comments on K. irianjayana.
