A new genus and species of Physocrotaphini from New Guinea (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Anthiinae)

Anguloderus gen. nov. and mirabilis n. sp. from Western Papua (Indonesia) is described. The new genus is distinguished from all known Physocrotaphini genera by a plurisetose ligula, combinedwith very large body size and very peculiar shape of pronotum. A new key to all the known genera of Physocrotaphini is proposed, along with some data about the mysterious genus Holoponerus Fairmaire, 1883.
