2. Ugyops samoaensis Muir,

Haw. Ent. Soc., Proc. 4: 573, pl. 10, fig. 10,

1921. (See figure 3, a-d.)

Ugyops sulcata Muir, Austr. Mus., Rec. 18: 70, figs. 12-14, 1931.

There is, so far as I can see, no essential difference between these two species. U. samoa:ensis was described from Samoa and Savage Island [Niue], and U. sulcata was described from the New Hebrides. This species, therefore, would seem to have a wide distribution in the Oceanic region. All the specimens have the tegmina short, barely covering the abdomen; in the male genitalia the ventral margin of the pygofer is produced in a broad flaplike tooth which is concave on the posterior margin; the genital styles are broadly curved inward with the acute apices approximate; the aedeagus is a simple, elongate, coiled tube.
