( Figures 3A–J View Figure 3 , 4A–E View Figure 4 , 15G View Figure 15 )
Afidentula bivakana Bielawski, 1965: 50 .
Material
Paratype. New Guinea, Indonesia: “Museum Leiden Nieuw Guinea Exp. K.N.A.G. 1939 Araboebivak 14 October 1939 / Afidentula bivakana det. R. Bielawski 1964 / Paratypus ” (1 female: MIZ) .
Diagnosis
This species is most similar to P. wiebesi because of dorsal body colouration but P. bivakana can be easily separated from P. wiebesi by elongate oval body (distinctly heart-shaped in P. wiebesi ), antennomere 5 subquadrate, more transverse mentum and the prosternal process with sides parallel.
Description
Length 8.3 mm; TL / EW = 1.26; PL / PW = 0.44; EL / EW = 1.14; EW / PW = 1.81.
Body ( Figures 3G View Figure 3 , 15G View Figure 15 ) elongate-oval, convex; surfaces covered with short white, appressed setae. Mouthparts yellow with last two maxillary palpomeres brown. Antennomeres 1–7 yellow, antennomeres 8–11 dark brown to black. Head black with yellow triangular fronto-clypeal macula. Pronotum along middle black, lateral parts yellow; hypomera yellow, prosternum black; dorsal surfaces and legs black.
Antenna ( Figure 3A View Figure 3 ) with antennomere 4 elongate, longer than antennomere 5; antenomeres 5 and 6 subquadrate; antennomere 7 and 8 transverse; antennomere 8 widened anteriorly. Mandibles ( Figure 3E, F View Figure 3 ) with two apical and first subapical teeth large, sharp, triangular in shape with numerous denticles on inner margin; second subapical tooth large, sharp without denticles; additional serration below teeth. Labrum feebly emarginate ( Figure 3H View Figure 3 ). Labium ( Figure 3B View Figure 3 ) with palpomere 1 transverse, about half length of palpomere 2, which is scarcely longer than wide; apical palpomere about 1.2 times longer than palpomere 2. Maxillary terminal palpomere ( Figure 3C View Figure 3 ) about 1.15 times longer than wide.
Prosternal process ( Figure 3D, I View Figure 3 ) subtruncate at apex with sides parallel; width of prosternal process about 1.3 times greater than length of prosternum in front of procoxae. Mesoventral process ( Figure 3J View Figure 3 ) about as wide as coxal diameter at the same position.
Legs with hind femora protruding from outer margin of elytral epipleuron ( Figure 3G View Figure 3 ).
Abdominal postcoxal lines somewhat angulately curved ( Figure 4A View Figure 4 ); apical margin of female ventrite 5 truncate ( Figure 4A View Figure 4 ), sternite VIII weakly emarginate and tergite VIII rounded ( Figure 4D, E View Figure 4 ).
Male terminalia and genitalia not studied (see Bielawski 1965: 51).
Female genitalia as in Figure 4B, C View Figure 4 with transverse, almond-like coxites.
