T. gressitti is characterized by the large an- gular punctation of the prothorax; the large eyes, base of the rostrum tumid, and long antennae clothed with scales and black setae. I am pleased to name this species in honor of J. Linsley Gressitt of Bishop Museimi who has done so much to add to the knowledge of and collecting of the insect fauna of Oceania.
