Genus DERETIOSUS Pascoe, 1871

This sophrorhine genus contains many species and is distributed from New Guinea eastward as far as Samoa, westward to the Philippines, Java, and Sumatra and south into Australia. One other Micronesian species has been described; it is Deretiosus con.color Zimmerman, 1938, from Ponape, Caroline Islands; and I have recorded the New Guinean D. subaridus Lea, 1928 from Truk, Caroline Islands.
