 Hind femora, 6-7-7-2 mm. Hind tibiae, 7-8-8-2 mm. Distance between ocelli, 0-5-0-55 mm., 

 distance between an ocellus and an eye, i-o-i-i mm. 



Body large and robust. Head with ocelli usually pink with brownish black rim, distance 

 between an ocellus and an eye about twice the distance between two ocelli. Antennae dark 

 brown, with inner sides of basal segments and at least three-sevenths of basal portion of apical 

 segments pale. Rostrum hardly approaching hind coxae. Entire pro-, meso-, and meta- 

 pleuron and sternum, except coxae, dark brownish black. Entire disc of pronotum behind 

 collar, except sides, dark brownish black, posterior angles without brownish black dots. Legs 

 with fore femoral spines entirely dark brown, all femora pale, with brownish black apices, 

 tibiae and tarsi palish brown. Hemielytra dark brown with palish veins, pale spots at base of 

 membrane almost quadrilateral. Abdomen ventrally palish brown, brownish black ventro- 

 lateral spots absent. Posterior margin of seventh abdominal tergum medially emarginate and 

 laterally convex, posterior margin of pygophore truncated (Text-fig. 403). 



o* genitalia : Claspers pointed at apices, points uniformly thick (Text-fig. 405). Aedeagus 

 with both (dorsal and ventral) pairs of thecal appendages ; a single left lateral conjunctival 

 appendage present, small and thin (Text-fig. 406) ; a pair of asymmetrical supporting append- 

 ages, left large, curved and cup-shaped and a dorsal membranous appendage, terminal appendage 

 wanting (Text-fig. 406). 



9- Very similar to q* but usually slightly smaller in size. Posterior margin of seventh 

 abdominal sternum truncated, with a median fold (Text-fig. 408). 



$ genitalia : First gonocoxae pointed at apices, broad, covering a larger portion of eighth 

 paratergite (Text-fig. 409) ; three pairs of intervalvular sacs (Text-fig. 411) ; spermatheca like 

 an elongated tube with a small, uniformly thick, coiled tube (Text-fig. 407). 



Type material. Holotype <J, New Guinea : " Stal ", " limbaticois ", Riksmus. 

 Stockholm, allotype $, data as holotype, Riksmus. Stockholm ; paratypes, New 

 Guinea : Ins. Aru, 1 <J, Mysol (Stevens), Riksmus. Stockholm. 



Other material. New Guinea : 3 <$, 4 $. 



This species is restricted to New Guinea. Its range is the most easterly in the 

 genus. The two other allopatric species are similarly restricted, sumatranus to 

 Sumatra and bakeri to the Philippine Islands. 



Cosmoleptus sumatranus Blote 



(Text-figs. 412-420) 



Cosmoleptus sumatranus Blote, 1934 : 2 &5 



Characterized by uniformly pale venter of abdomen with a series of brownish black 

 spots on either side, by the latero-posterior smooth brownish black dots on prono- 

 tum and by <$ and $ genitalia.
