broad as elytra at bases; basal margin slightly 
contracted in middle. Scutellum transverse, 
pale brown, nitid. 'Elytron pale brown with a 
broad longitudinal fuscous patch, gradually 
broadening to the rounded apex, very finely 
and not closely punctured. Abdomen exposed 
in both sexes, more so in the female. Legs and 
underside pale brown. Length 3.5-5 mm. 
viti levu: Holotype (Bishop 2448), Nan- 
darivatu, 1100 m., Sept. 10, 1938, Zimmer-

Mill, Nandarivatu, Oct. 13, Valentine; Navai- 
Nasonga trail, 1000 m., Sept. 12, 1938, 
Zimmerman; Mt. Korombamba, Aug. 1,

Differs from K. nigra Bryant in color, and 
in not being rugosely punctured.

Dull brown; head black, prothorax and

black. 
Fig. 39- Khasia rugosa rugosa Bryant, n. sp., type. 
Head black, very rugosely punctured; an- 
tenna extending slightly beyond base of ely- 
tron, fulvous with apical segments tinged 
with fuscous; first segment longest, about 
twice as long as second. Prothorax dull brown 
with side margin broadly black; slightly 
transverse, widest just before middle, con- 
tracted to base, very strongly and .rugosely 
punctured. Scutellum dull brown, impunctate. 
Elytron dull brown with side margin broadly 
black, in some extending to suture, rugosely 
punctured; punctures close and irregular; 
about as wide as base of prothorax, and 
gradually broadening to apex, somewhat 
truncate at apex and contracted upwards to 
suture, exposing two rugosely punctured ab- 
dominal segments. Legs fulvous with apical 
third of each tibia black. Underside with ven- 
tral segments of abdomen not so rugosely 
punctured. 
viti levu: Holotype (Bishop 2449), Nan- 
darivatu, Sept. 11, 1938, 800 m., Zimmerman, 
eight specimens; Tholo-i-suva, 175 m., July 
21, 1938, Zimmerman, five specimens; Mt. 
Korombamba, 400 m., Aug. 1, 1938, Zim- 
merman, two specimens. 
ovalau: Thawathi, July 16, 1938, Zim- 
merman. 
Easily distinguished from the other two 
species from Fiji by its very rugose appearance. 
99. Khasia rugosa callosa Gressitt, n. subsp. 
Male: Black; antenna partly brownish in 
basal third; central portion of pronotum, from 
apex to base, testaceous; scutellum and base 
of elytron testaceous; thoracic sterna, coxae, 
and femora and tibiae (except apices of both) 
testaceous. 
Head short, deeply punctured. Antenna 
reaching beyond middle of elytron; scape 
nearly as long as next two combined; fourth 
longer than any of succeeding. Prothorax 
broader than head, subhexagonal, widest at 
middle; disc with a broad, nearly impunctate 
area across central portion, the area partly 
divided into three portions; remainder densely 
rugose-punctate. Scutellum swollen. Elytron
