Biromiris bulolo Schuh, 1984: 208 View in CoL , figs. 686–687 (n. gen., diag., descr.).

DIAGNOSIS: Recognized by characters of generic diagnosis, concave posterior margin of vertex, relatively small size, nearly straight lateral margins of pronotum that form a trapezoid shape in dorsal view, terete antennal segments 3 and 4, and patches of erect, black setae.

DESCRIPTION: See Schuh (1984).

HOSTS: Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION: Papua New Guinea; unassociated females found in Northern Australia.

DISCUSSION: We were able to examine recently collected specimens of this species from Papua New Guinea in which the patches of dark setae are unique among all the currently known species of Biromiris . Four female specimens of this species were identified from northern Australia but are not described until corresponding male specimens are found to confirm that they are conspecific.
