McNamara, v.1927 2 males , female; vii.1927 , male, female; viii.1927 , female; i–ii.1929 , female ( AMSA ) . Diagnosis. Small ( 4.4–4.6 mm long); entirely brown dorsally except for 4 median orange spots on the pronotum; deflexed elytral apex somewhat truncate along margin B with margin C slightly sinuate; distinguished most obviously from Tri. papuana by the presence of the deflexed elytral apex. Remarks. This study extends the number of males known in collections. Luciola papuana Olivier was described from a female coloured like M. papuae . Males lacking the deflexed elytral apex are associated with Luciola papuana and the species assigned to Trisinuata gen. nov. and redescribed below. Table 9 lists Luciolinae sharing similar pale brown dorsal colouration, of which three species, including this one, are assigned to Trisinuata gen. nov.
