Coracina novaehollandiae melanops (Latham, 1802) – black-faced cuckooshrike. Type locality. Wando , Western Province , Papua New Guinea . Diagnosis. Indoceoplanetes ( Indoceoplanetes ) wandoensis new species is most similar to In. ( In. ) pterophora new species and In. ( In. ) fodincana new species . For a comparison between In. ( In. ) wandoensis and In. ( In. ) pterophora , see the latter species, above. Indoceoplanetes ( Indoceoplanetes ) wandoensis can be separated from In. ( In. ) fodincana by the following characters: male tergopleurite IV with 2 ss and male tergopleurite V with 3 ss on each side in In. ( In. ) wandoensis ( Fig. 29 ), but tergopleurite IV with 1 ss and tergopleurite V with 2 ss on each side in In. ( In. ) fodincana ( Fig. 36 ); male sternite III with 1 sts on each side in In. ( In. ) wandoensis ( Fig. 29 ), but with 2 sts on each side in In. ( In. ) fodincana ( Fig. 36 ); female subgenital plate rounded distally in In. ( In. ) wandoensis ( Fig. 35 ), but flattened distally in In. ( In. ) fodincana ( Fig. 42 ). Description. Both sexes . Head rounded trapezoidal ( Fig. 31 ), lateral margins of preantennal head convex, frons flattened. Marginal carina broad, narrowing anterior to dsms , deeply displaced and widened at osculum. Ventral anterior plate rounded, with concave anterior margin and sinuous lateral margins. Head chaetotaxy as in Fig. 31 . Preantennal nodi wide, bulging. Pre- and post-ocular nodi large, connected dorsally by broad ocular band. Marginal temporal carina slender. Gular plate triangular, lateral margins slightly convex. Thoracic and abdominal segments as in Figs 29–30 . Base pigmentation translucently pale yellow; head nodi, gular plate, proepimera, and metepisterna dark brown; margins of antennal sockets, mandibular framework, sternal plate IV–VI and subgenital plates medium brown; head carinae yellowish. Male. Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in Fig. 29 ; tergopleurite IV with 2 ss and tergopleurites V–VI with 3 ss on each side; sternite III with 1 sts on each side. Basal apodeme rounded, with concave lateral margins ( Fig. 32 ). Proximal mesosome with antero-lateral extensions ( Fig. 33 ), anterior margin deeply concave. Mesosomal lobes divergent distally. Distal margin of mesosome concave, but median section bulging. Gonopore with slightly hooked antero-lateral extensions. Dorsal fringe not tilted posteriorly. Chaetotaxy: 1 ventral gpmes microsetae on each side lateral to distal gonopore; 2 lpmes sensilla on each side on mesosomal lobes; 1 dorsal ames microseta on each side posterior to dorsal fringe. Parameres and pst1–2 as in Fig. 34 . Measurements as in Table 1 . FIGURES 29–30.

Female. Thoracic and abdominal chaetotaxy as in Fig. 30 ; female sternite III with 2 sts on each side. Subgenital plate as in Fig. 35 , lateral margins concave in distal section, distal margin rounded. Vulval margin bulging medianly, with 2–3 short, slender vms and 1 short, thorn-like vss on each side; 4–6 slender vos on each side of subgenital plate; distal 2 vos distal to vss , substantially longer than vms . Measurements as in Table 1 . Etymology. The species epithet is derived from the type locality. Type material.
