Fiji, Labasa, Lautoka, December to February, and bred from 
infested maize in July ( Veitch, Greenwood) ; 6 ex. (type Brit. Mus.). 
This insect is so similar to Stoeberhinus testacea that it would appear 
to be identical but for the difference in character of the <S palpi, 
and suggests interesting speculations.
