Comb. nov.

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
.
