Perissonemia kietana, new species 
Description: Small, oblong, brownish, with veinlets of paranota 
and costal areas testaceous and of sutural areas mostly fuscous; 
areolae of paranota and costal areas hyaline; body beneath stramineous 
fuscous. Legs dusky brown, clothed with tiny, golden pubescence; 
antennae dark fuscous, clothed with tiny, golden pubescence on first 
three segments and with longer, grayish, pubescent hairs on fourth 
segment. Length 3.20 mm., width (elytra) 1.05 mm. 
Head very short, slightly produced in front of eyes, strongly decli- 
vent, with a pair of short, frontal spines; eyes large, reddish fuscous; 
bucculae wide, areolate, closed in front; antenniferous tubercles 
short, bluntly rounded in front, not spinelike. Antennae moderately 
long, rather slender; segmental measurements: I, 14; II, 10; III, 88; 
IV, 48. Labium extending almost to base of mesosternum; laminae 
low, uniseriate, parallel on mesosternum, cordate with a V-shaped 
opening behind on metasternum. Metathoracic scent glands pro- 
vided with an ostiole and upright ostiolar sulcus on each metapleuron. 
Hypocostal lamina moderately wide, uniseriate. 
Pronotum moderately transversely convex, areolately punctate; 
median carina percurrent, composed of one row of small areolae (two 
deep between calli); lateral carinae less elevated, without areolae, 
distinct on posterior process of pronotum, becoming indistinct on 
pronotal disc; calli deeply impressed, impunctate; collum raised, 
areolate, subtectiform; paranota moderately wide, each composed 
of one row of moderately large areolae (two areolae deep opposite 
calli). 
Elytra longer than abdomen, practically parallel sided; costal area 
moderately wide, composed of one row of fairly large, nearly quadrate 
areolae; subcostal area narrower than costal area, nearly upright, 
biseriate; discoidal area extending a little beyond middle of elytron, 
acutely angulate at both base and apex, widest opposite apex of hind 
process of pronotum, there four areolae deep; sutural area on same 
horizontal level as discoidal area, with areolae larger than in discoidal 
but not as large as in costal area. Hind wings longer than abdomen, 
clouded with dark fuscous. 
Tyre: Holotype (male), Kieta, Solomon Islands, 1944, Dr. 
Logan Bennett, USNM 65118. 
Remarks: The wide costal area, less convex pronotum, and uni- 
seriate median carina of pronotum separate this species from the 
species described below.
