Discussion and differential diagnosis
. Specimens of
Pollanisus
species 3
from Magnetic Isl. and Palm Isl. were supposed to be possibly conspecific with
P.
species 6 and distinct from
P. contrastus
,
due to their longer antennae (
Tarmann 2004
). However, the head ratio data (
Table 6
) suggests that
P.
species 3 could be conspecific with
P. contrastus
. More material is required to decide about the systematic status of this species.
