Interstriae distinctly convex, shiny, with only a trace of microreticulation on sides, and with irregular row of moderately large, quite dense punctures.

Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Toponymic; an adjective derived from the name of Malaita Island, where the new species was collected.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. Airapus malaitaensis, new species among all known Airapus species seems to be closely related to A. burrundieae . Both species share the following morphological features:elytra without granules, pronotum broader than the base of the elytra, anterior angles of pronotum rounded, somewhat rectangular, posterior margin of pronotum distinctly bordered (grooved), and similar shape and density of pronotal punctation. Further similarities include: basal margin of elytra with very short and very dense macrosetae, shape and punctation of elytral striae and interstriae, size and proportions of apical spurs, etc. Based on these similarities, Airapus malaitaensis, new species can be linked to A. burrundieae using the key to species for Airapus of New Guinea by Stebnicka (1998). Further comparisons between A. malaitaensis, new species and A. burrundieae are summarized below (Table 1).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E8623D543155BA5EFF3EFB839872B60E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Parameres with distinctly downwardly, bent before apex, distinctly sinuate basally on inner side.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology. Toponymic; an adjective derived from the name: Mapia, where the new species was collected.</p><p>Differential diagnosis. There are only a few species of the genus Saprosites with granules on the head in the entire territory of Asia, Australia and Oceania. Of these few species, S. mapiaensis, new species, can be distinguished by the very characteristic shape of hind angles of the pronotum (which looks like a small tubercle). Using the key for identification of Saprosites species from Indonesia (Stebnicka 2012), S. mapiaensis, new species will be identified as S. crockerensis . In addition to the features mentioned above, we can distinguish S. mapiaensis, new species from S. crockerensis by the following features: higher and more widely distributed granules on the head, slightly less regularly distributed punctation on the clypeus, the clypeus more distinctly sinuate anteriorly, the anterior angles of the pronotum distinctly rounded (in S. crockerensis the anterior angles are somewhat rectangular), the posterior margin of the pronotum not bordered ( S. crockerensis has base of pronotum very distinctly bordered) and different aedeagus (compare figures 13 and 14).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E8623D543157BA5BFF3EF8E79F12B7E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
