A new species of the genus Aporhina Boisduval, 1835 (Coleoptera: Brentidae) from the Bismarck Archipelago

A new species, Aporhina lavongaiica sp. n. (Brentidae: Eurhynchinae) is described from New Hanover Island, Bismarck Archipelago (New Ireland Province of Papua New Guinea). The new species is similar to Aporhina aurata (Heller, 1896) but differs in the procoxal part of the prosternum, mesanepisternum, mesepimeron, mesoventral process, apical half of the metanepisternum, sides of the metaventrite and sides of the second ventrite with maculae of condensed white squamules, a matte pronotal centre and a distinct subapical tooth on the ventral surface of the profemora. It is the first record of the subfamily Eurhynchinae for the Bismarck Archipelago.
