Only recorded from Samoa, but closely resembles C. excellens Walk., wbich 

 occurs in Australia and New Caledonia. In his original description Scbouteden 

 refers tbis species to his subgenus Coleotichus, but this was apparently a slip, 

 since it agrees more closely with his subgenus Epicoleotichus, and he himself 

 states that C. huloivi is most closely allied to C. excellens Walk., which he refers 

 to Epicoleotichus. Indeed, the record of C. excellens as occurring in Samoa 

 (Schouteden, Wytsm. Gen. Ins., XXIV, p. 6, 1904) almost certainly refers to 

 C. huloivi and is therefore not included in the present list.

Recorded from Isle of Pines, Fiji, Marquesas Is., Society Is., New Hebrides 

 and doubtfully also from New Caledonia and Australia (fide Kirkaldy). The 

 specimens from the Marquesas and Society Is. agree very well with the type, 

 which is from the Isle of Pines. The Fijian specimens show slight differences
