Unknown.</p><p>Egg. Broadly ovoid, apparently smooth, without surface sculpturing or patterning, with a short basal pedicel and a very short tail (Fig. 2Q).</p><p>Host plant and biology. The host plant is unrecorded, it may be Metrosideros ( Myrtaceae) (see Discussion). No biological information is available, but the immatures are likely to be free-living as is typical for the genus (Burckhardt et al. 2020).</p><p>Note. The aedeagus of the single male specimen and holotype was lost during slide mounting, but the structure of the aedeagus and shape of the distal segment apex had already been noted as similar to that of C. longicauda (illustrated in Fig. 2E). Ctenarytaina lulla (Tuthill, 1942) is the only other Ctenarytaina known from the Society Islands, and the original description of C. lulla by Tuthill (1942), which I use for my comparison with C. elinae, was based on just two females (material not examined) and no further records are known. Moreover, when Tuthill (1952) transferred the species to Ctenarytaina (from Papiana Tuthill, 1942) he provided no further description.</p><p>Comments and Systematics. Burckhardt et al.(2020) noted that extra pore fields on the abdominal intersegmental membrane are present in females only in some species (e.g., Ctenarytaina insularis Martoni &amp; Armstrong, 2019); in C. elinae these pores are found in both male and female (Figs 2M, 2N). Martoni &amp; Armstrong (2019) clearly considered the Pacific taxa, C. distincta (Tuthill, 1943), C. lulla and C. remota Tuthill, 1956 to be related to the native Australian taxon, C. insularis . Burckhardt et al. (2020) additionally included C. longicauda and three other taxa ( C. baliola Burckhardt, 2020, C. bipartita Burckhardt, Farnier, Queiroz, Taylor &amp; Steinbauer, 2013, C. cubicella (Kandasamy, 1986)) together in a larger related group primarily based on the structure of the female terminalia that is somewhat inflated basally and strongly narrowed medially to a narrow apical process. However, this description does not fit the structure of C. longicauda or C. elinae, and therefore I consider these two latter species to represent a separate species group. I also interpret the presence of two species groups as evidence for at least two separate colonizations across the Pacific and specifically to French Polynesia. There is, nevertheless, evidence that these two species groups are related within Ctenarytaina . Ctenarytaina elinae sp. nov. was included in the mitogenome analysis of Percy et al. (2018) (as “DP1.idba.269_ Aphalaridae _ Ctenarytaina _sp”), where it groups with strong support (100% bootstrap) with an undescribed species (as “DP1.ctg022_circ_ Aphalaridae _ Ctenarytaina _sp”) from New Caledonia close to C. insularis, albeit with reasonably deep divergence between them (Percy et al. 2018), and based on the COI fragment the divergence is 16.5%. Only four Ctenarytaina species were included in Percy et al. (2018), but the results suggest that although the Ctenarytaina diversity in French Polynesia likely derived from at least two separate colonizations from Australasian origins, the two different species groups ( C. elinae versus C. lulla and C. remota) are likely related groups within the genus. The closest relative to Ctenarytaina elinae sp. nov. (based on morphology, and combined COI and cytB data) appears to be C. longicauda which is native to Australia (but introduced in several regions; Burckhardt et al. 2020). The relationship between these species is suggested by the extremely elongate and massive female terminalia (Figs 1M, 1N and Figs 2H, 2I), which also readily differentiates C. elinae from other known Pacific Ctenarytaina taxa. Ctenarytaina elinae is a larger species than C. longicauda (Figs 1M, 1N), the forewing of C. longicauda, although similar in shape to C. elinae, is less broad basally (Fig. 1E), the veins do not become thickened in the basal portion of the forewing, cell cu 1 is wider (CUR&gt; 3.5) and cell m 1 is lower (MR&gt; 0.4); the male terminalia structure is also similar between the two species, with similar structure of proctiger, subgenital plate and aedeagus (see note above) (Fig. 2E), but the paramere is more slender in C. longicauda (Figs 2F, 2G). The similarities in the general structure of the female terminalia also include the presence of three discrete areas of dense sclerosis (two in the proctiger, one in the subgenital plate, Fig. 2O), and these were illustrated for C. longicauda by Taylor (1987); the area of sclerosis post anal ring on the proctiger is more prominent in C. longicauda and is sometimes marked in this taxon by darker pigmentation (Fig. 2H). The function of these sclerotized areas is not clear, but they may provide structural reinforcement supporting the relatively massive terminalia. Similarly, the distinctive depression on the dorsal surface of the proctiger towards the apex is more pronounced in C. longicauda (Figs 2H, 2I). Despite these shared morphological characters, DNA barcodes indicate that C. elinae and C. longicauda species are considerably genetically divergent (17.8% COI divergence).

Unknown.</p><p>Egg. Oblong-ovoid, approximately 3 times longer than wide, with a short, laterally positioned pedicel subbasally on ventral side (Figs 4K, 4L); dorsal and lateral surface with distinctly hexagonal, honeycomb-like, sculpturing (Figs 4K, 4M); dorsum keeled with a longitudinal medial ridge (Fig. 4K), ventral side concave (Fig. 4L), tail apparently lacking.</p><p>Host plant. Unconfirmed without immatures, but most adults were collected from Metrosideros collina ( Myrtaceae).</p><p>Comment. The most obvious characters that differentiate A. rosiegeorgeorum from A. unica are used in the species key above, additional differences include smaller meracanthus, metatibia shorter (ratio HT:HF &lt;1.35), base of metatibia with only a single or small cluster of ~2 genual spines, apex of metatibia less expanded, with spurs less stalked or conjoined (Figs 3L, 3M, 3N, 3O, 3P), forewing relatively shorter (ratio WL:HW &lt;4.5) with cell r 1 not narrowing as much towards cell apex, cell cu 1 higher (ratios CUR &lt;1.5 and HM:HCU &lt;2) (Fig. 3A, 3D), hindwing relatively longer (more than 0.7 times forewing length) with a more broadly rounded apex (Figs 3B, 3E), paramere longer and proctiger shorter (ratio MP:PL &lt;0.6) (Figs 4A, 4D).</p><p>Systematics. This species was included in the mitogenome analysis of Percy et al. (2018) (as “DP2.idba.210_ circ_ Triozidae _ Anomocephala _sp”). The two Anomocephala species on Rapa are strongly supported as sister taxa (100% bootstrap) and are moderately divergent (9.7% COI divergence).See systematics section under Anomocephala and Discussion.</p><p>Genetic resources.

General colour dark brown, head and thorax darker, somewhat paler abdomen, apical metatarsus dark brown; forewing clear in males (unknown in females) (Fig. 3D). Genal processes long and slender, approximately same length as vertex length (ratio VL:GC 1.00), initially contiguous basally, becoming slightly divergent towards apices. Antenna incomplete in specimen at hand (segment 3 length: 0.47). Metacoxa with large sized meracanthus, base of metatibia with cluster of genual spines, apex expanded, bearing 3 (1+2) sclerotized apical spurs with single spur stalked, and the pair of spurs distinctly conjoined (Figs 3O, 3P). Forewing long (ratio WL:HW&gt; 4.5) membrane surface spinules sparsely distributed, forewing apex acute (Fig. 3D). Hindwing relatively short, less than 0.7 times forewing length, apex narrowly rounded (Fig. 3E). Male terminalia with subgenital plate angled posteriorly (Fig. 4D); proctiger short, slightly expanded medially towards posterior, without posterior lobes basally (Fig. 4D); paramere moderately long and broad, curving slightly towards posterior, with posterior margin narrowed and bearing several long stout setae, apex bluntly rounded, with simple setae shorter on exterior and longer on interior surfaces (Figs 4A, 4B); distal aedeagus segment relatively long (ratio PL:AEL &lt;1.3) apex with large bulbous head. Female unknown.</p><p>Adult measurements (mm) and ratios. (1 male), [1 male illustrated by Tuthill, 1942]. WL: 3.52; WW: 1.14; HW: 0.74; AL: missing; PB: 0.09; WL:WW: 3.09[–3.13]; WL:RsL: [1.97–]2.15; CUR: 1.67[–1.69]; MR: 0.56; HM: HCU: 2.21[–2.42]; HW:VW: 1.85; VL:VW: 0.58; VL:GC: 1.00; WL:HW: 4.76; HW:HT: 0.97; HT:HF: 1.36.

Probably Metrosideros collina . No immatures were collected, but one of the two known specimens, as well as the majority of adult specimens of the sister species, A. rosiegeorgeorum sp. nov., were collected from this plant.</p><p>Note. Antenna incomplete in specimen at hand, but Tuthill (1942) describes antenna as long, and almost 3 times head width, which would make the antenna considerably longer than in A. rosiegeorgeorum, which is only ~1.5 times head width. However, the relative length of antennal segment 3 (which is present) suggests that the difference in antennal length is likely not that great between the two species. The male forewing in Fig. 3D has an aberrant vein off cell cu 1 which has partly distorted the shape of cell cu 1, and possibly ratios CUR and HM:HCU reported here. Mainly for this reason, ratios were also derived from the forewing illustration in Tuthill (1942).</p><p>Comment. This species is known from only two male specimens, one collected in 1934 (Tuthill 1942) and the other in 2004 (reported here); the female and immatures remain unrecorded.</p><p>Systematics.
