Dicercomorpha caeruleipennis Fairmaire, 1877: 153 View in CoL . Type locality: Pacific Islands, Tonga: Vava’u Isl. (‘Vavao’).
Dicercomorpha caeruleipennis Fairmaire View in CoL : FAIRMAIRE (1879): 97 (as coeruleipennis View in CoL [sic!]; characters; distribution: Tonga: Vava’u Island (‘Vavao’); in Museum Godeffroy); FAIRMAIRE (1881): 265 (as coeruleipennis View in CoL [sic!]; reference to THOMSON (1878) – mistake; with comment: probably identical with ‘ Buprestis wallisii Montr.

Misidentification. Nesotrinchus caeruleipennis (Fairmaire) sensu BELLAMY (1987, 1990 View in CoL , 2005, 2008) – in fact N. caeruleipennis (Thomson) View in CoL , is now N. thomsoni Bílý & Kubáň View in CoL , nom. nov. (see below).
Type material examined. Nesotrinchus caeruleipennis (Fairmaire) : LECTOTYPE (designated here): ♀ ( BMNH), TONGA: VAVA’ U ISLAND: ‘Type [p] [round, red-framed label] / Dicercomorpha caeruleipennis Fairm. Vavao [h, Fairmaire’s handwriting] / Fidji Fairm.[h, Kerremans handwriting] / coeruleipennis Fairmaire Type [h, Kerremans’ handwriting] / D. coeruleipennis Fairmaire I. Fidji [h]’. Since the number of syntypes is unknown, we designate here the female specimen from BMHN as the lectotype to avoid any confusion in the future.
Nesotrinchus orientalis : PARATYPES: 7 JJ 5 ♀♀ ( BMNH), TONGA: VAVA’ U ISLAND: ‘ Tonga: Vavao. iii.1925. G.H.E.Hopkins. [p] / Pres. by Imp. Inst. Ent. Brit. Mus. 1930–555. [p] / Paratype [p] Nesotrinchus orientalis J [or ♀] [h] C. L. Bellamy [p] [yellow label]’; 3 JJ 2 ♀♀ ( BMNH), ‘Neiafu Vavau Tonga 7. [or 8., or 11.] iii. [19]25 [h] S. Pacific Buxton & Hopkins [p] / Brit. Mus. 1928–25. [p] / Paratype [p] Nesotrinchus orientalis J [or ♀] [h] C. L. Bellamy [p] [yellow label] / [one J with: ‘ N. coeruleipennis Fairm. (var.) [h] det.K.G.Blair. [p]’]’; 1 J ( NMPC, ex coll. S. Bílý), ‘ Tonga, Vavau: Neiafu, 0– 100m. March 1974 N.L.H. Krauss [p] / Paratype [p] Nesotrinchus orientalis J [h] C. L. Bellamy [p] [yellow label]’.
Additional material examined. TONGA: VAVA’ U ISLAND: ‘ Tonga: Vavao. iii.1925. G.H.E.Hopkins. [p] / N. coeruleipennis Fairm. [h] det.K.G.Blair.[p] / Pres.by Imp. Inst.Ent.Brit.Mus. 1930–555.[p] / Nosotrinchus coeruleipennis Frm. = simondsi Obb. (Haplotrinchus) [handwritten] A. Théry det. [p]’ (1 J, NHMB, ex coll. G. Frey).
Other published records. Further type specimens of N. orientalis ( BELLAMY 1987) : TONGA: EUA ISLAND: Eua Isl., 21.viii.1975, J. C. Watt leg. (1 J (holotype), 2 ♀♀, NZAC). TONGATABU ISLAND: Haamea, ii.1956, N. H. L. Krauss leg. (1 ♀). VAVA’ U ISLAND: various data (24 spec.). NEW ZEALAND: NIUE ISLAND: various data (4 JJ 4 ♀♀). Deposition of paratypes other than those from the Eua Island not specified.
Biology and collecting circumstances. Four paratypes of Nesotrinchus orientalis from Vava’u Island are labelled: ‘Talau Forest, on tree trunks’ and 13 paratypes from Vava’u Island (Neiafu) were collected at 0–100 m a.s.l. ( BELLAMY 1987).
Remarks. We have studied the syntype of N. caeruleipennis ( Fairmaire, 1877) and 21 paratypes of N. orientalis and failed to find any differences. We regard them as conspecific, N. orientalis being a junior subjective synonym of N. caeruleipennis ( Fairmaire, 1877) .
Distribution. Pacific Islands: Tonga (Eua Island, Tongatabu Island, Vava’u Island), Niue Island.
