Antennae reddish-brown, all seg- ments with setae, 1-2 oblong, 3-7 submoniliform, club oblong-oval; scape wider at apex than at base. Head short, broad, covered with scales, short setae issuing from punctures. Ei/es curved, almost spherical, their apex shifted toward rear. Prothorax broader than long, base, and apex truncate, constricted near apex, deep punctures surrounded by scales in a rosette shape; two basal black markings. Elytra short, egg-shaped, above flat lateral edges with elevated costa, widest before middle, punctures bearing short setae, scales compact on costal intervals. Legs reddish-brown, femora not reaching apex of elytra; heavily covered with scales, and short, light colored setae, under side sparsely covered with scales, punctures few, with white setae; ventrite 2 with greater breadth than 3-4-5; 5 wider than 3-4; a few small white scales and setae on ventrites 3-4. Length mm; breadth mm. Type locality: Tasman Island (R. V. Rennig- sen). Locality: Distribution of the specimens of this study: Solomon Islands; Sikaiana (Stewart Islands),'March 23, 1936 (R. A. Lever). Remarks: The nine specimens used in this study were compared with the two cotype speci- mens of notaticollis from the Dresden Museum. They agreed perfectly with the Heller specimens. Heller related notaticollis to Trigonops dispar Jek. Marshall 1956, transferred dispar to a new genus Platijsimus along with five other species that had been in the heterogeneous Trigonops prior to Marshall's study.

Fig. 44 Denn black with some dark brown to reddish color on legs and eyltra, scales pale green with some bluish ones on legs. Rostrum as long as it is wide, scrobes deep and wide, head separate
