Chrysomelidae of Fiji — Bryant and Gressitt 
49 
apices of femora; antenna ochraceous; dor- 
sum clothed with rather dense golden buff 
pubescence. 
Head distinctly narrower than pro thorax, 
deeper than wide, strongly arched and finely 
rugose-punctate on occiput, a narrow trans- 
verse groove between eyes. Antenna two- 
thirds as long as body; scape thicker and 
longer than second; third to sixth slender, 
third longer than fourth; fifth and sixth 
shorter, subequal; seventh and following 
longer and stouter. Prothorax four-fifths as 
long as broad, three-fourths as broad as ely- 
tra, evenly rounded at side, barely narrower 
at apex than at base; disc evenly convex, very 
closely and deeply punctured, with roughly 
20 punctures in an approximate median line. 
Scutellum narrow, suboblong. Elytron twice 
as long as prothorax, suboblong, narrowed 
and rounded posteriorly; disc deeply punc- 
tured in somewhat sinuous rows, with two 
extra basal rows near suture, and some extra, 
and irregular rows at side, punctures on basal 
portion mostly larger than interspaces, par- 
ticularly in longitudinal sense. Ventral surfaces 
largely impunctate, with a few fine punctures 
on abdominal sternites. Length 1.9 mm.; 
breadth 1.07 mm. 
Paratypes: Length 1.9-2.25 mm.; breadth 
1-1.1 mm. 
vanua levu: Holotype (Bishop 2431), 
Navakuru, 70 m., Oct. 7, 1955, Gressitt. 
Fourteen paratypes, Daku road, near Gele- 
mumu, 12 km. east of Lambasa, on Glochidion , 
Oct. 6; Navakuru to Nakawanga, on Glochi- 
dion , Oct. 7; and Nakawanga, 75 m., on

Differs from D. vitiensis Bryant in being 
smaller, almost entirely pale instead of with 
dark markings, and with denser pubescence 
of longer hairs or scales.
