DESCRIPTION. — Characterised by a bare prementum, rostrum with a median carina but no sublateral carinae, a transversely convex dorsal surface of rostrum, elytral processes arising from apical margin or slightly above, and an indistinct or extremely narrow bevel between outer combs of hind tibiae. 8.5-12.0 mm.

TYPE MATERIAL. — 4 syntypes present. Lectotype female, 14.2 x 6.6 mm, ‘ New Hebrides, Elytrurus marginatus Saunders & Jekel , Bowring’ , NHML. Paralectotypes with MNHN, NHML. Identified non-type specimens with BPBM, IRSN, MNHN, NHML, NZAC .

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Vanuatu. Erromango , Tanna, Aneityum. 36 specimens .

REMARKS. — One specimen in the Coll. Castelnau/Roelofs of Brussels (IRSN) bears a label reading ‘N. Caled.’ I should think that it was an error of labelling.
