Dasyrhicnoessa cf. insularis (Aldrich, 1931)

Material examined. French Polynesia, Society Is., Moorea , viii.1928, A. Tonnoir, 1♀ [ AM]

Remarks. After examining this female specimen, merely named on label Dasyrhicnoessa uniformis, Type ” by Malloch but neither described nor published as a new species, I feel it should be regarded, tentatively, as Dasyrhicnoessa insularis (Aldrich) .

Remarks. Five females captured in association with both the male specimens of this and the previous species ( D. clandestina ) have no consistent diagnostic character for separation, and are provisionally treated as Dasyrhicnoessa cf. clandestina / insularis ”.
