1. Platynopus melacanthus. 



Pentatoma melacanthum Boiscluval, 1 835, Voy. Astrolabe, Ent.ii. 

 628, PLii. f.7. 



Rewa (March and November; Muir). Also recorded from the 

 Moluccas, Papua, New Caledonia, Lifu and Murua (Woodlark). 



2. Canthecona cyanacantha Stal, 1870, Svensk. Vet. Handl. ix. 



No.l,p.42. 

 Rewa (March- April; Muir); Suva and Nadi(Knowles, No.187). 

 Two Oriental species of this genus are known to prey on cater- 

 pillars; thus the Fijian species may be of economic importance. 



3. Catacanthus viridicatus Distant, Trans. Ent. Soc. London, 



1881, 215. 



Rewa (November; Muir); Suva (Knowles, No. 32). Also from 

 the Tonga Isles. 



Although the Fijian examples differ from Distant's description 

 (which was drawn up from a Tongan one), I believe the former 

 to belong to his species. Distant writes that the second segment 

 of the antennas is a little shorter than the third, and subequal to 

 the fourth; the fifth broken off. In the Fijian specimens, the 

 fourth segment is distinctly longer than the third, so that I 

 suppose a part of Distant's fourth was broken off with the fifth.
