description: <i>Komiyandra mindanao</i> sp. nov. (Fig. 49, 50, 102, 170, 171, 242, 285, 337, 435-437) <b>Etymology</b>. The name refers to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines (noun in apposition). <b>Type material</b>. Holotype M, from PHILIPPINES, Mindanao, Northern Mindanao Region, <i>Misamis Oriental</i>: Mount Balatukan (15 km SW of Gingoog; 1000-2000m), V.1-5.1960, H. Torrevillas coll. (BPBM). Paratypes (1 M, 3 F), as follows: PHILIPPINES, Mindanao, Davao Region, <i>Davao del Sur</i>: Baracatan (1500m), F, VI.27-29.1977, M. Sato coll. (EELE). Mindanao, Soccsksargen Region, <i>South Cotabato</i>: Lake Sebu (124 o 42’E, 6 o 13N; 700m), F, IX.1993, Pascal Lays coll. (IRSN). Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, <i>Basilan</i>: Basilan Island, M, VI-VII.1990, [no collector indicated] (KMCT); F, VI-VII.1990, [no collector indicated] (MZSP). <b>Description</b>. Integument shining, dark-brown; parts of head and of mandibles, margins of pronotum, elytral suture, extreme apex of femora, and extreme base of tibiae blackish. Male (Fig. 435). Head moderately wide; dorsal surface, on gibbosities, with punctures coarse and moderately abundant, not confluent; area near posterior ocular carina with same kind of punctures as on gibbosities, in part confluent; area between gibbosities and occiput coarse and not confluently punctate; area between gibbosities and ocular carina depressed, smooth in the most part; area behind eyes coarsely, sparsely punctate; ocular carina elevated, with bifurcation in “Y”, near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 435) slightly visible. Eyes narrow (Fig. 102); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 435) distinct. Central area of clypeus almost vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 49) wide and truncate at apex. Submentum very slightly depressed; punctation coarse and sparse; pilosity short and sparse (slightly longer at central region); anterior margin wide and elevated throughout. Teeth of inner margin of mandibles (Fig. 170) placed approximately in middle. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI not visible from side (Fig. 242), and not divided by carina. Pronotum finely, sparsely punctate on disc, gradually coarser and more abundantly punctate laterally (deeper towards the anterior angles); anterior edge barely convex at middle; anterior angles slightly projected forward; lateral angles slightly indicated; posterior angles barely distinct, in a straight angle. Elytra coarsely and abundantly punctate: anterior two-thirds, near suture, with punctures finer and sparser than area around elytral curvature (between disc and epipleura), and sparser than at area between curvature and epipleura; apical third with punctures finer than in area near suture at basal twothirds, and clearly more abundant. Metasternum with punctures coarser laterally, gradually finer and sparser toward metasternal suture. Metafemur (Fig. 436) elongated. Dorsal surface of tibiae flat. Metatarsus (without claws) shorter than metatibiae (Fig. 285); metatarsomere V barely longer than I-III together. Female (Fig. 437). Head proportionally narrower; punctures at dorsal surface of head more abundant than in male; central projection of labrum (Fig. 50) narrow and truncate at apex. Mandible (Fig. 171). <b>Dimensions in mm (M / F)</b>. Total length (including mandibles), 15.8/18.0-19.5; prothorax: length, 3.3/ 3.7-4.0; anterior width, 4.3/4.1-4.5; posterior width, 3.4/3.8-4.2; humeral width, 4.0/4.7-5.4; elytral length, 9.2/10.8-12.4. <b>Comments</b>. The holotype male of <i>K. mindanao</i> is similar to males of <i>K. javana</i>, of which it differs by closer elytral punctation, by the anterior edge of the pronotum (Fig. 435) not sinuous (wide and slightly sinuous at middle area), and by the metafemora (Fig. 436) more elongate. In males of <i>K. javana</i>, the elytral punctation is sparser, the anterior edge of the pronotum (Fig. 419) is sinuous (with emargination very distinct at middle area), and the metafemora (Fig. 420) are shorter and wider. The paratype female of <i>K. mindanao</i> differs from the paratypes females of <i>K. javana</i> and <i>K. philippinensis</i> (Fig. 433), mainly, by the head narrower. The holotype male differs from the males of <i>K. philippinensis</i>, mainly, by the absence of the bifurcation in “Y” of the ocular carina (present in <i>K. philippinensis</i>).
