Komiyandra Santos-Silva & Heffern & Matsuda 2010, new genus
No full text<i>Komiyandra</i>, new genus <p> <b>Etymology</b>. Dedicated to our colleague, Mr. Ziro Komiya (Komiya <i>+ Parandra</i>), of Japan, who has published numerous papers on Oriental Prioninae and provided many of the important specimens for this study. Feminine gender.</p> <p> <b>Type species</b>. <i>Parandra janus</i> Bates, 1875.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. 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 <i>major</i> males (Fig. 177, 184) subfalciform (almost identical to female in <i>minor</i> 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) <i>Birandra</i> -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.</p> <p> 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 <i>K. ohbayashii</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>).</p> <p> <b>Included species.</b> <i>Komiyandra janus</i> (Bates, 1875), <b>comb. nov.</b>; <i>K. shibatai</i> (Hayashi, 1963), <b>comb. nov.</b>; <i>K. formosana</i> (Miwa and Mitono, 1939), <b>comb. nov.</b>; <i>K. lanyuana</i> (Hayashi, 1981), <b>comb. nov.</b>; <i>K. javana</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. nayani</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. ohbayashii</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. luzonica</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. philippinensis</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. mindanao</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. mehli</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. vivesi</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. lombokia</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. sulawesiana</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. irianjayana</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. menieri</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. sangihe</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. mindoro</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. niisatoi</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. drumonti</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. cabigasi</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. koni</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. johkii</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; <i>K. poggii</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b>; and <i>K. uenoi</i> Santos-Silva, Heffern and Matsuda, <b>sp. nov.</b></p> <p> <b>Geographical distribution</b> (Fig. 316).

In <i>Birandra</i>, mandibles of <i>major</i> males (Fig. 118) are clearly falciform and veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 212) are separate at apices. In <i>Acutandra</i>, mandibles of <i>major</i> 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 <i>Birandra</i>. Different from <i>Archandra</i> Lameere, 1912, and <i>Parandra</i> Latreille, 1802, because these genera have distinctly falciform mandibles in <i>major</i> males and veins MP 3 and MP 4 (Fig. 207, 208) not fused together at apices, and by procoxal cavities closed behind. From <i>Neandra</i> Lameere, 1912, different by procoxal cavities open behind, and presence of paronychium clearly exposed. In <i>Neandra</i>, procoxal cavities are closed behind, and paronychium not exposed. Different from <i>Stenandra</i> Lameere, 1912, by procoxal cavities open behind, and by the paronychium clearly exposed (closed and not exposed in <i>Stenandra</i>).

No full text<i>Allotigrinestola</i> gen. nov. <p> <b>Type species</b>: <i>Allotigrinestola sundbergi</i> <b>sp. nov.</b></p> <p> <b>Etymology</b>. From the Greek άλλος / <i>allos</i> (different, other) and <i>Tigrinestola</i>, meaning different from it.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> The combination of antennae distinctly not reaching elytral apex in both sexes, mesosternal process without tubercle, and absence of central depression on distal region of abdominal ventrite V in female distinguish this genus.</p> <p> <b>Description</b>. Body elongate, moderate size. Head hypognathous; frons transverse. Lower eye lobes distinctly longer than gena; upper eye lobes wide apart; antennae in male reaching, at most, the distal quarter of elytra; antennae in female not reaching distal third of elytra; antennomeres filiform; antennomeres gradually decreasing in length from III to XI. Prothorax in male about as long as wide (excluding lateral tubercles); in females slightly wider than long. Sides with large, spiniform tubercle placed at about midlength. Pronotal disc without tubercles. Mesosternal process without tubercle. Elytra subparallel-sided at basal 2/3; apex rounded at outer angle; surface without erect setae. Legs moderately short; femora subfusiform; mesotibiae notched dorsally; metatarsomere V about as long as I–III together.</p>Published as part of <i>Heffern, Daniel & Santos-Silva, Antonio, 2017, Notes and descriptions on North American Desmiphorini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 469-479 in Zootaxa 4247 (4)</i> on page 477, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4247.4.8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/438895">http://zenodo.org/record/438895</a>
