REVISIONARY CLASSIFICATION OF RUTILIINI 29 
one pair of strong proclinate orbital setae. Vertex o-16 of head width. Antennae more 
reddish than in g (in the specimen seen). Body length 15-7 mm, wing length 13-4 mm [one 
specimen only seen]. 
MATERIAL EXAMINED 
Holotype 3, SoLomon IsLANpDs: Guadalcanal, Tapenanje, 10-30 [printed as 
10—32].1x.1953 (J. D. Bradley). In British Museum (Natural History), London. 
Paratypes. Soromon IsLtanps: 2 g, Guadalcanal, Gold Ridge, 1-2000 ft, 
21.ix.1958 (P. G. Fenemore); 1 3, Guadalcanal, Honiara District, 500 ft, 2.1.1955 
(E. S. Brown); 1 9, Guadalcanal, Honiara District, Mt Austen, 13.vi.1954 (E. S. 
Brown). All paratypes in British Museum (Natural History). 
DISTRIBUTION. Known only from the island of Guadalcanal in the southern 
Solomon Islands. 
ArrFinitiges. A rather isolated and distinctive species (here placed in the separate 
species-group defined above) identifiable at a glance by the uniformly dark green 
body and infuscate wings. The frons and vertex in the female are unusually narrow 
for the genus. No particular affinity with any other species is evident. 
THE MIRABILIS-Grovup 
Diaenosis. Facial carina broad, in facial view conspicuously wider than an antenna. Head 
partly metallic, at least on postorbits and genal dilations, often also on parafrontals and upper 
parts of parafacials. Thorax and abdomen not unicolorous, abdomen with conspicuous pattern 
or if not then thorax or scutellum not concolorous with abdomen. Abdominal T5 without 
strong setae behind the transverse row of setae. Surstylus of § genitalia of varied form (Text- 
| figs 41-44) but not sharply pointed at apex.
