This may be Macroplax liicluosis, Montr., but that species 

 is described as finely granulated, with the clavus whitish 

 and the membrane brown. It is also a little larger than 

 0. lifuanus.

Hab. LiFU {Willey). 



This is most probably a good species, but I have re- 

 frained from describing it, as it belongs to a difficult group 

 largely characterized by colour- markings, and there is but 

 a single specimen before me.
