Description
Description. Holotype: ♂ (MZB): Indonesia, West Papua, Arfak Mountains, stream near Siyoubrig 01°06.26'S, 133°54.41'E, 1400-1800 m, 24. -28.II.2007, leg. A. Weigel. Paratypes: 2♂♂ 1 ♀ (CSH, ZSM): same locality data as holotype (the female was sequenced). Habitus as in Fig. 3; total length: 11.6-12.0 mm; total width: 5.3-5.5 mm. Dark brown to almost black; labrum, lateral margin of pronotum and all body appendages paler reddish brown; elongate.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis. Distinguished from Carabdytes upin upin through the molecular and morphological characters mentioned in the results section under "morphology". With Carabdytes upin upin there is no overall size difference (10.1-12.2 mm).
Distribution
Distribution. So far known only from the type locality (Figs 1, 4).
Etymology
Etymology. In loving memory of Samkris "Kris" Tindige, relentless conservationist in Papua, who left us too early. The beetles were collected in the stream bed very close to a birdwatching guesthouse set up by Kris and Shita Prativi above Siyoubrig village.
