Chrysomelidae of Fiji — Bryant and Gressitt

ring in Fiji, but probably this species was in- 
volved. Some of the specimens are quite 
brown on the inner portion of the elytral 
disc. One specimen with longer, entirely blue, 
elytron probably represents another species. 
114. Crepidodera elongata Gressitt, n. sp. 
Fig. 41 b 
Male: Testaceous, slightly more ochrace- 
ous on thoracic and abdominal sterna and on 
side and preapical portion of elytron. 
Body narrow; tarsi long. Head long; frons 
short and tuberculate; upper surface smooth, 
nearly impunctate. Antenna three-fourths as 
long as body; scape nearly one-half again as 
long as second segment, both stout; third 
nearly as long as scape, barely longer than 
fourth; fifth fully as long as scape, longer than 
each of sixth to tenth; last several thickened; 
last thicker than scape. Prothorax slightly 
broader than long, subrectangular, slightly 
sinuate at side; disc minutely punctured, dis- 
tinctly grooved subbasally. Scutellum rounded 
triangular. Elytron long, subparallel, moder- 
ately swollen postbasally near suture, regularly 
and deeply seriate-punctate, the punctures 
mostly larger than interspaces, both longi- 
tudinally and transversely. Ventral surfaces 
sparsely or finely punctured. Legs long; fore 
and middle tarsus each with first segment as 
long as next two combined, fully as broad as 
third, and much larger than second; hind 
tarsus longer than its tibia, with first segment 
longer than following combined. Length 2.6 
mm.; breadth 1.2 mm. 
ovalau : Holotype, male (Bishop 2458), 
Andubandga, beating shrubs, at 500 m., 
Aug. 15, 1938, Zimmerman. 
Differs from C. evansi Bryant in being en- 
tirely pale, in having the pronotum finely 
punctured, and the elytron heavily punctured 
and with the punctures extending to apex. 
115. Crepidodera evansi Bryant 
Crepidodera evansi Bryant, 1938, Roy. Ent. Soc. 
London, Proc. B 7(11): 251 (Taveuni; type 
in Brit. Mus.). 
Elongate-oval, nitid, fulvous, with distal 
antennal segments, suture, and sides of ely- 
tron, fuscous. Head impunctate; antenna with 
second segment about one-half as long as 
first; third and fourth subequal, each longer 
than second; fifth slightly longer than fourth 
or sixth. Prothorax impunctate, feebly rounded 
at side, anterior angles oblique, transverse 
sulcus not very deep, terminated at each end 
by a short longitudinal sulcus. Elytron about 
twice as long as head and prothorax together, 
feebly punctate-striate, the apical portion im- 
punctate, feebly carinate at side, widest be- 
hind middle and rounded at apex. Hind tibia 
with apical third finely toothed. Length 3 mm.

Lautoka; type in Brit. Mus.). 
Crepidodera fijiensis Csiki, 1939, Coleopt. Cat. 
166: 298 (new name for nigra Bryant, nec 
Schilsky). 
Entirely black except for basal antennal 
segments, which are testaceous, and apical 
segments, tibiae, and tarsi, which are fuscous. 
Head sulcate between eyes, smooth on vertex; 
antenna reaching a little beyond middle of 
elytron, first two segments rather swollen, 
third to sixth more slender, last five thicker; 
prothorax smooth, slightly transverse, with a 
strong basal sulcus which is terminated at 
each end by a short longitudinal sulcus; ely- 
tron twice as long as prothorax, with basal 
half strongly but irregularly punctured, form- 
ing irregular striae which behind middle be- 
come feeble and at the apex almost smooth. 
Length 2.25 mm.
