Description
Maiestas hospes (Kirkaldy) Comb. nov. (Fig. 38).
Deltocephalus hospes Kirkaldy, 1904: 177, Hawaii.
Remarks. As currently defined this species is confined to Hawaii. Other Pacific records are of a new species (knighti) described below (see Appendix 5). It differs from knightii by the apical extension of the aedeagus being broader in lateral view (compare Figs 38k and 39k) and more laterally compressed basally (compare Figs 38m and 39m) and the style apical process being more robust (compare Figs 38f and 39f). It differs from samuelsoni (see below) only in its broader subgenital plate. We have examined the lectotype male, (designated by Fletcher & Condello, 1993: 43) and paralectotype male, Hawaii (BPBM), of hospes.
