Body black, palpi, antennae and legs uniformly testaceous. Dorsal surfaces of fore-body and abdominal tergites III-VI glossy, devoid of microsculpture except for the usual dense microsculpture on rows of keels and grooves on anterior margins of tergites; tergites VII- VIII with faint but distinct micro-reticulation and micro-punctures. Pubescence pale, long, sparse. Habitus: Fig. 3 h. Head strongly transverse, eyes large and prominent; post-ocular carina well marked, forming a small dentiform angle immediately behind posterior margin of eye; puncturation of disc very sparse, consisting only of six small frontal punctures, two pairs of inter-ocular punctures, the first situated at the level of anterior margins of eyes, some small ocular punctures, a pair of large closely-set punctures near base, and small punctures in the post-ocular grooves. Pronotum moderately elongate; lateral margins not bordered by a bead or carina, but by a series of 6 - 7 punctures; disc with a pair of discal series of six punctures each, preceded by four smaller punctures disposed in a square, three lateral punctures on each side, and a number of punctures along anterior and lateral margins. Macropterous, elytra ample, the sides evenly rounded from anterior to posterior angles, widest a little behind middle; puncturation of disc sparse and fairly fine, consisting of three longitudinal series: a juxta-sutural series of six punctures, a discal series of four punctures, and a lateral series of 6 - 7 punctures, with a few other punctures on lateral margins. Abdominal tergites with basal rows of rather long keels and three discrete transverse rows of numerous small punctures; two median punctures of last row on tergites much larger than lateral punctures. Male: sternite VIII: Fig. 3 s 8; aedoeagus: Fig. 3 arl, the median lobe with a ventral midlongitudinal keel; right paramere slender, sinuate, lying parallel to keel. This is the first Oedichirus recorded from the Solomon Islands, and the only species so far recorded from the Papuan subregion apart from O. novaguinea WENDELER and O. novahibernicus nov. sp. (from New Ireland) with large elytra and serially aligned abdominal puncturation. It may be noted that the nearest other subregion to the Solomon Islands is New Caledonia, where all the many (mostly undescribed) species are micropterous with randomly disposed abdominal punctures.	en	Rougemont, Guillaume de (2018): New Papuan Oedichirus (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Pinophilini).

Head moderately transverse; eyes large and protruberent; carina of post-ocular border not evident, but associated groove broad and deep, punctate; disc coarsely and irregularly punctate, the interstices mostly wider than diameter of punctures. Pronotum strongly elongate, behind anterior angles scarcely wider than head, the sides retracted to narrow base; lateral margins entirely bordered; puncturation of disc forming a pair of discal series of seven punctures each, the space between them smooth, a little raised and impunctate in posterior half, 6 - 7 scattered lateral punctures, and smaller punctures near anterior and along lateral margins. Micropterous, humeral angles completely obsolete; surface depressed, slightly concave in lateral view; puncturation finer than that of pronotal disc, irregular. Keels and depressions of anterior margins of abdominal tergites short and not very prominent; punctures of tergites disposed randomly, the punctures on anterior segments almost as coarse as those of elytra, sparser and finer on posterior segments. Male: abdominal sternite VII unmodified; sternite VIII: Fig. 4 s 8, with a moderately large apico-median emargination; aedoeagus not seen (dissected by LAST, but detached from mounting card and lost). Female: abdominal sternite IX: Fig. 4 vp. This species is similar in colour, puncturation and general appearance to O. endomanensis nov. sp. and to two other undescribed species from Irian Jaya in the SMNS, but is larger than any of those.	en	Rougemont, Guillaume de (2018): New Papuan Oedichirus (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Pinophilini).

Head, elytra and abdomen black, prothorax red, all appendages testaceous. Body devoid of microsculpture. Pubescence long, pale, erect. Habitus: Fig. 5 h. Macropterous, elytra short but ample, humeral angles well marked. Abdominal puncturation arranged in three discrete transverse rows. Male: abdominal sternite VII unmodified; sternite VII: Fig. 5 s 8; aedoeagus: Figs 5 arl, av. Female: sternite IX: Fig. 5 vp. V a r i a b i l i t y: the abdomen may be entirely black (type; ex. from Epomani), or black with the posterior part of segments III-VI dark reddish, or segments III-VI entirely reddish. The typical form of this species is distinctive by virtue of the black abdomen in combination with red pronotum; in exx. with reddish segments III-VI the colour pattern resembles that of the widespread oriental species O. longipennis KRAATZ, which does not occur in New Guinea, but O. novaguinea is a larger species with legs entirely testaceous. It is the only bicolorous, red and black species so far recorded from the Papuan region. The species apparently occurs throughout New Guinea, from Batanta in the far northwest of Irian Jaya, to Merauke (the type locality) on the south coast, to eastern Papua New Guinea.	en	Rougemont, Guillaume de (2018): New Papuan Oedichirus (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Pinophilini).

03AD3627FFAA052E48F5CCBDFD809E49.taxon	description	D e s c r i p t i o n: length: 8 mm; length of fore-body: 3.4; length of head: 0.85; breadth of head: 1.05; length of antenna: 2.15; length of pronotum: 1.25; breadth of pronotum: 1; length of elytron: 1.5; breadth of elytra: 1.45. Body deep black, shiny, mouthparts, antennae and legs testaceous. Dorsal surfaces glossy, devoid of microsculpture except on keels of anterior margins of abdominal tergites and almost imperceptibly on tergites VI-VIII where it consists of very fine but dense micropunctures. Pubescence long, pale, erect. Habitus: Fig. 6 h. Head strongly transverse; post-ocular carina salient, forming a dentiform angle behind posterior margin of eye; puncturation sparse, consisting of a few scattered small simple punctures around antennal tubercles, a pair of umbilicate punctures on frons, another pair at level of anterior margins of eyes, a few small ocular punctures, and six other punctures nearer base, besides three punctures on either side in groove of post-ocular border, leaving the vertex impunctate. Lateral margins of pronotum faintly bordered in anterior half, the border consisting of a bead; basal half of disc with a pair of arcuate series of five punctures each, two pairs of punctures before this, preceded by a pair of more widely spaced punctures, numerous punctures along anterior and lateral margins, the areas between discal series and lateral margins impunctate. Elytra broad, with well marked humeral angles, the sides dilated behind these to widest point about 2 ♀ 3 rds the distance from anterior margin; puncturation of disc arranged in three series, a juxtasutural series of ca. 8 punctures, and two discal series of 5 - 6 punctures, with other punctures along anterior half of lateral margins. Puncturation of abdominal tergites arranged in three discrete transverse rows behind anterior row of keels on each tergite. Female: sternite IX: Fig. 6 vp, the vulvar plate very large and deep, its posterior rim densely microsculptate. This is the first Oedichirus recorded from New Ireland. It is very similar to O. lawrencei nov. sp. from the Solomon Islands in colour, general appearance and puncturation, differing principally in its slightly lesser size, relatively shorter pronotum and smaller and more densely punctate elytra. In O. lawrencei the middle two punctures of the last row of abdominal tergites are larger than the lateral punctures, whereas in O. novahibernicus they are of approximately equal size. The arrangement of punctures in transverse rows on the abdomen sets it apart from all species known from mainland New Guinea except the bicolorous O. novaguinea.	en	Rougemont, Guillaume de (2018): New Papuan Oedichirus (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Pinophilini).

Dorsal surfaces devoid of microsculpture, even at bases of abdominal tergites. Pubescence short, pale, erect, sparse, denser on abdominal segments VII-VIII. Habitus: Fig. 9 h. Head only moderately transverse; post-ocular border clearly visible in dorsal view, the furrow narrow, the carina not forming an angle behind eyes; temples evenly rounded from eye to broad neck; puncturation sparse, the punctures much smaller than those of pronotum. Pronotum broadest just behind anterior angles, the sides gently rounded to posterior angles; lateral border obsolescent in posterior half; puncturation consisting of a pair of discal series of 6 - 7 punctures extending almost to anterior margin, some scattered lateral punctures, and smaller punctures along lateral margins.

Female: abdominal sternite IX: Fig. 9 vp. This is the largest species of Oedichirus seen so far from New Guinea, surpassing even O. magnus LAST (10 mm) from which it also differs in colour (the type of the new species may be teneral, but the uneven coloration indicates that fully mature specimens are surely not uniformly black), the less numerous punctures of the pronotal discal series, depressed elytra with more numerous punctures, and absence of microsculpture on the bases of abdominal tergites together with its size and coloration, and the conformation of the female ninth sternite make it sufficiently distinct from others to warrant publication of its description even in the absence of males.	en	Rougemont, Guillaume de (2018): New Papuan Oedichirus (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Pinophilini).
