Genus: Loboscelidia
Name
Loboscelidia novoguineana Kimsey – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Loboscelidia novoguineana Kimsey 1988[1]: 74. Holotype male; Papua New Guinea, East Highlands, Aiyura (BPBM).
Material studied
Papua New Guinea: Mt. Suckling (1 male, CNC); Ivimka Res. Station, Lakekamu Basin (3 males, BME); 5 males were seen, including the holotype.
Diagnosis
As discussed under Loboscelidia nigricephala, Loboscelidia novoguineana is one of five species with a wide flattened frontal projection. It can be distinguished from these species by the partial notauli, scrobal sulcus indicated by a scrobal pit or several pits, and the fore, mid and hindtibial flanges present and narrower than the respective tibiae. This is the only Loboscelidia species described from New Guinea but there surely must be more.
