Type locality: Bougainville, Kieta (Dr. Schlaginhaufen) 1908-5 tijpus, 1908-5 Staatl, Mu- seum fiir Tierkunde, Dresden. Kietana gressitti n. sp. Fig. 4 Demi black with small pale greenish scales, pronatum with a narrow median strip of scales; elytra, legs, and ventral surface with small groups of green scales. Head rugose with small punctures on apical portions of frons, diminishing toward base; eyes large, slightly convex, lateral and in contact with rostral suture; rostrum longer than head, dilated at genae, dorsum and apical declivity punctuate, with a slight elevation and fovea at junction of two carinae and declivity. Antennae scape widen- ing gradually from base to apex, punctures deep, clothed with long recumbent brownish setae and a few green scales; scape reaching the anterior two-fifths of prothorax; funicle slightly longer than scape, all segments pyrifomi, 1 a little larger than 2. Prothorax longer than head and ros- trum combined; widest at middle, sides practical- ly parallel; truncate at base and apex; disc con- vex, highest in middle, sloping to apex and base, closely set with rounded granules, from one side of which issues a small brown seta, giving gran- ules a lunate appearance, green scales sparsely placed between granules, median area more heavily covered with scales. Elytra broadly ovate, widest behind middle, dorsum convex highest before middle, punctures in striae, granules in main, along intervals, some small ones in striae paths; small brown setae arise from side of gran- ules; some scales between granules of intervals; setae long, brownish and recumbent on precipi- tous declivity. Underside, prosternum, mesoster- num, metastemum, ventrites 1 and 2 sparsely cl
