PACIFIC SCIENCE, Vol. XI, January, 1957 
well developed, subacute; disc convex, nearly 
impunctate, shiny, feebly grooved obliquely 
near middle of side of basal margin. Scutellum 
small, suboblong, about twice as long as 
broad. Elytron nearly impunctate, and un- 
grooved, on upper portion of disc, but with 
four deep grooves, hardly punctured, at side, 
none of which reach apex. Ventral surfaces 
sparingly punctured. Pygidium moderately 
punctulate. Legs short and stout. Length 1.65 
mm.; breadth 0.94 mm. 
Female: Dorsum slightly paler on elytron. 
Antenna two-thirds as long as body. Length 
2 mm.; breadth 1.1 mm. 
viti levu: Holotype, male (Bishop 2398), 
ridge west of Vatuthere, alt. 900 m., Nan- 
darivatu, Sept. 8, 1938, beating, Zimmerman; 
allotype, female (Bishop), Nandarivatu, 1100 
m., Sept. 6, 1938, Zimmerman. Two para- 
types, male and female (BM), same data as 
allotype. 
ovalau: Two paratypes, both females 
(Bishop), Andubangda, 600 m., Aug. 15, 
1938, Zimmerman. 
The Ovalau specimens have the pronotum 
paler, particularly apically and basally. 
Differs from C. marginipennis Bryant in 
being smaller, darker, with the prothorax less 
convex, more broadly expanded on lateral 
margin, less punctate above, and more 
grooved at side.

Male: Dark chestnut brown to pitchy; 
head, legs, and last abdominal sternite tes- 
taceous; antenna testaceous basally, pitchy on 
last six segments. Ventral surfaces sparingly 
clothed with short pale hairs; antenna more 
densely clothed. 
Head with a few punctures; frons narrow 
and slightly raised; eyes touching above, 
deeply emarginate. Antenna three-fourths as 
long as body; scape longer than second and 
third segments combined; second much 
shorter than third; last six segments thick- 
ened. Prothorax two-thirds as long as broad, 
practically as broad as elytra, strongly nar- 
rowed anteriorly, distinctly collared at apex; 
disc sparsely and shallowly punctured, dis- 
tinctly grooved obliquely at side. Scutellum 
slender, narrowed posteriorly, more than 
twice as long as broad. Elytron moderately 
punctured in ten distinct grooves, the last two 
deep; most of punctures smaller than spaces 
between them longitudinally. Ventral surfaces 
sparingly punctured, densely punctured on 
metepisternum, and moderately so on last 
abdominal segment. Legs fairly stout. Length 
1.92 mm.; breadth 1.2 mm. 
Female: Pronotum pale on each side; ven- 
tral surfaces testaceous except for pitchy meta- 
sternum. Length 2.28 mm.; breadth 1.2 mm. 
Paratypes-. Length 1.2-2. 4 mm.; breadth 
0.93-1. 3 mm. 
ovalau: Holotype, male (Bishop 2399), 
Andubangda, 600 m., July 15, 1938, Zimmer- 
man; allotopotype, female (Bishop), same 
data; four paratopotypes, two males and two 
females (Bishop, BM), same data. 
Differs from C. productkollis in being slight- 
ly larger, with ventral surfaces paler, the pro-
