Figures 77, 171, 262, 507-511

TYPE MATERIAL — Holotype, ♂, Papua New Guinea. New Guinea, Papua , Daredae Pl’n, 500m, 80 km N. to Port Moresby, Sept. 5.1959, T. C. Mass Collector, Bishop ( BPBM).

DESCRIPTION — MALE: Body length 2.8 mm. Head and mesosoma black; metasoma dark castaneous. Head (Figure 77). Mandible with four apical teeth. Clypeus with median lobe subtrapezoidal; median tooth rounded; median carina absent. Frons strongly coriaceous. Mesosoma. Pronotal disc with anterior margin carinate, strongly coriaceous. Metapectal-propodeal complex with lateral and posterior areas partly carinate. Metasoma (Figure 171). Tergal process with deep, longitudinally elliptical and sublateral pair of depression, 0.78 x as long as tergite II, diverging posterad, without setae; each depression with small tubercle on its inner area, conical in longitudinal section, very low, entirely laterad, with small pit on top, with long tuft of setae anterad. Hypopygium (Figure 262) with median stalk evenly narrow, 1.37 x as long as hypopygial plate; lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin straight or nearly so. Genitalia (Figures 507-511). Basal margin of paramere with subangled projection. Aedeagal dorsal body with apex higher than parameral apex, wider medially, narrowing abruptly apicad. Aedeagal ventral ramus with apex lower than aedeagal dorsal body apex, slightly bifurcated on apical region; apical region rounded, broad and smooth with digitiform projections.

FEMALE: Unknown.

REMARKS — The material of this species is in bad condition. The median stalk of hypopygium is slightly broken, so the rate of length of median stalk and length of hypopygial plate could be inaccurate. The genitalia of holotype is in very bad condition and the genital ring is lost.

ETYMOLOGY — The noun in apposition solwara means sea in Tok Pisin.
