- Uloma paniei Kaszab, Folia Entomologica Hungarica 18: 84.
Type locality
Mont Ignambi.
Type specimens
Holotype male: “Nouvelle-Calédonie, Mt Ignambi, 2100 ft, 7.VIII.1914, leg. P. D. Montague” (BMNH); Paratypes: Mt Panie, 1911, P. D. Montague (one male and one female, BMNH); Ignambi Gipfel, 1300 m, 15.IV.1911, leg. F. Sarasin & J. Roux (one male, MTD); Panie Wald, 500 m, 27.VI.1911, leg. F. Sarasin & J. Roux (one female, MTD); Mt Panier [misspelled], 1200 m, 9.X.1967, leg. J. & M. Sedlacek (two females, BPBM). None examined.
Diagnosis
Within the Uloma isoceroides species group, Uloma paniei and Uloma robusta are the only species whose mentum of the male is adorned with two peripheral hair fringes along the sides and the front edge, leaving the disc glabrous. Both species have the male anterior tibiae shortly notched at base, maximum one third of the length of inner face. Size large (10.5-12.2 mm). Uloma paniei may be separated from Uloma robusta by the male anterior tibiae strongly and deeply notched at base of the inner face (up to one third of the inner side length), the disc of the mentum smooth and shining between the peripheral hair fringes in the males, the elytral surface shining, the striae deeper and expanded to the apex. The male aedeagus is similar in both species. It is unfortunately impossible to identify the females on the basis of morphological characters.
Distribution
Kaszab (1982[1]: 84) cited this species from the following localities: Mt Ignambi, Mt Panié. “Neukaledonien (Grande Terre NW)”.
Additional localities
Mt Panié, 450–950 m, 14 May 1984, G. Monteith & D. Cook (QM).
