 Description. Integument shining, dark-brown; mandibles, parts of head, basal antennomeres, parts of legs, and edge of pro- and mesocoxal cavities darker.   
Male (Fig. 422). Dorsal surface of head with moderately coarse and abundant punctures, not confluent; frontal gibbosities clear, separated by a deep and wide furrow; area between gibbosities and ocular carina smooth and not depressed; ocular carina elevated, not bifurcated in “Y” near posterior edge of eyes (Fig. 422); area behind eyes smooth. Eyes narrow (Fig. 98); posterior ocular edge (Fig. 422) very distinct. Central area of clypeus vertical close to front. Central projection of labrum (Fig. 40) narrow and subacute at apex. Submentum barely depressed, with moderately large, sparse punctures; margin close to mentum moderately wide and elevated; pilosity very sparse, restricted to areas close to genae. Teeth on inner margin of mandibles (Fig. 162) placed after middle. Galea (Fig. 200) surpassing apex of second segment of maxillary palp. Ventral sensorial area of antennomeres III-XI (Fig. 312) divided by low carina and not visible from side (Fig. 238).  
Pronotum microsculptured, feebly rough at latero-anterior region; center of disc finely, sparsely punctate (punctures moderately larger towards laterally); anterior edge barely sinuous; anterior angles feebly projected; lateral angles well-marked. Elytra coarsely, abundantly punctate (finer, more sparse in circumscutellar area); each elytron with two low, clearly marked carinae. Metasternum coarsely, sparsely punctate close to metepisterna. Metafemur (Fig. 423) elongated. Dorsal face of tibiae rounded. Metatarsus (Fig. 281).  
Female (Fig. 424). Dorsal furrow of head, between gibbosities, ends approximately at level of posterior edge of eyes; latero-anterior area of pronotum not microsculptured, not rough, with punctures larger than other areas. Clypeus, labrum (Fig. 41), punctures of head, of pronotum and elytra, sensorial area of antennae, submentum, elytral carinae, metafemur and dorsal face of tibiae similar to males and with same variations. Mandibles (Fig. 163) with punctures and pilosity sparser than males.  
 Variability. Integument from dark-brown to brown (rarely pale-brown). Males: dorsal surface of head moderately finely punctate on gibbosities, coarser towards occiput; punctures of dorsal face of head, in part confluent; smooth area between gibbosities and ocular carinae depressed close to edge of clypeus, with or without punctures on that region; central area of clypeus oblique close to front; area behind eyes sparsely punctate; margin of submentum close to mentum not or feebly elevated at central region; submentum with sparse hair in full extension; teeth of inner margin of mandibles placed at middle; ventral sensorial area of antennae divided or not by carina on all antennomeres or only in part of them; carina of ventral sensorial area visible from sides on apical antennomeres; anterior angles of pronotum projected; lateral angles of pronotum almost obsolete; elytral carinae barely indicated. Females: dorsal furrow of head, between gibbosities, clearly surpassing posterior edge of eyes; punctures at base of outer face of mandibles coarse and confluent.   
 Dimensions in mm (M / F). Total length (including mandibles), 14.1-23.5/16.9-24.7; prothorax: length, 2.9-4.9/3.3-5.0; anterior width, 3.7-6.3/3.9-5.5; posterior width, 3.1-5.3/3.5-5.4; humeral width, 3.9-6.3/ 4.5-6.9; elytral length, 8.6-13.7/10.6-15.8.   
 Comments. Komiyandra nayani has been confused with K. janus by Fisher (1935), which is not surprising considering that nearly all species from the Philippines to New Guinea are, or were, confused with that species. See comments on K. janus.
