Holotype. Female (BM0095), Indonesia, Irian Jaya, Bokondini, 1900 m, Nov.–Dec. 1991 (LMBC). Paratypes. 2 females (BM0092, 94), the same data as the holotype (LMBC).

Diagnosis.

Eniclases bokondinensis has a characteristic combination of the black pronotum and light yellow elytra with dark colored apex (Figs 1718). The shape of antennae and the relative size of eyes are similar to those of Eniclases variabilis and Eniclases elelimensis (Table 1, Figs 32, 38, 39). The co-mimics of Eniclases bokondinensis are large-bodied and this species has a larger body than its closest relatives (Fig. 1, Table 1).

Description.

Female. Body length 9.2 mm, head, antennae, thorax, and abdomen dark brown to black, elytra pale yellow in humeral half, gradually infuscate to apex (Figs 1718), trochanters and basal parts of femora brown, rest of legs black. Head with small, hemispherically prominent eyes, their diameter 0.72–0.82 interocular distance, antennae flat, slender, acutely serrate, apical process of antennomere 3 about half length of its body, further antennomeres similar in shape. Pronotum transverse, with weak bulge in basal third, elytra with weak but regular secondary costae and mostly regular, subquadrate cells (Figs 1718).

Distribution.

New Guinea, Bokondini region.
