( P. ) radians in addition to another twelwe already considered synonyms of that species by previous authors. Chrysodema ( P. ) radians was described from Port Praslin in the Bismarck Archipelago . The depository of the type specimen of C. radians is unknown, however, we have examined large material from entire area and observed considerable morphological differences among individual taxa and therefore it seems to us that the very broad concept of C. ( P. ) radians is not sustainable. Neverteless, this species-group requires complex revision which we already started but we were unable to assemble all necessary types yet. Here we treat only the dark coloured taxa, C. ( P. ) coelestina and C. ( P. ) instabilis , for the purpose of description of a new species, C. ( P. ) jakli sp. nov.
