NEW GUINEA : 143.00E , 9.00S , Western Pr. , Fly River , Losobip , 400–600 m , viii. 1969 , JS, male, 2 females ( BPBM ) . Diagnosis. 5.9–6.2 mm long; distinguished from all other Medeopteryx by the median dark marking on the pronotum. (Characters of terminal abdomen not determined). Remarks. Luciola aspera Olivier , described from a female, has median dark pronotal markings similar to M. hanedai ; however males without deflexed elytral apices are assigned to aspera which is transferred to Australoluciola gen. nov. The Fly River male is the only representative of this species from other than the Sibil Mountains and the specimens may not be conspecific.
