Description

Capelopterum punctatellum Melichar,

Mon. Issiden, 212, 1906.

Ritidian Point, April 22, Bryan; June 2, on Pandanus, Usinger; Upi trail, May 5, Swezey, Usinger; Mt. Chachao, May 16, on Cycas, Swezey; Santa Rosa, May 19, Usinger; Orote Peninsula, May 24, on Psychotria, Usinger; Machanao, June 2, Swezey, June 4, Usinger; Aug. 6, on Piper, Swezey; Paasan, June 15, Usinger; Talofofo, June 19, on Premna, Usinger; Mt. Alifan, June 27, Usinger.

Described from Solomon Islands, and I have found no other record of its occurrence. Our 15 specimens are somewhat variable, but agree well with Melichar's description. We collected them by general sweeping on various frees and shrubs in the forest, pretty generally distributed; a few nymphs were obtained also.
