Named after its terra typica—New Caledonia.</p><p>Type locality. New Caledonia, Rivière Bleue, Haute Purina .</p><p>Diagnosis. Brontispa caledonica sp. nov. is conspicuous by its large size of 13.2 mm, which makes it the largest known species of Brontispa as other species of the genus have usual size 7–8 mm, only rarely reaching 11 mm in B. depressa (Baly, 1859) from the Philippines. Brontispa caledonica sp. nov. also has anterior corners of pronotum weakly projecting laterally thus the pronotum has lateral margins only slighly sinuate while most species of Bronti- spa have anterior corners strongly projecting laterally or anteriad. Only three New Guinean species have similarly shaped anterior corners of pronotum: B. eversi Gressitt, 1960, B. lateralis Uhmann, 1953 and B. simonthomasi Gressitt, 1960 . They differ in emarginate sides of anterior margin in front of anterior corners and in smaller size (7–8 mm). Brontispa caledonica sp. nov. is the only species of Brontispa which has anterior corners of pronotum continuous with convex anterior margin.</p><p>1 Only the primary description and references related to New Caledonia are cited.

Elytra approximately 3.7 × as long as broad, subparallel-sided on almost whole length, before apex softly converging, sutural angle subangulate, apex of elytra not emarginate. Disc with 7–8 punctures in scutellar row, in humeral part with six main rows plus additional two rows between external costa and margin of elytra, eight rows behind middle and ten rows apically; intervals 1–3 flat, interval 4 obtusely costate on whole length and interval 6 obtusely costate in anterior ⅔ length, interval 8 indistinctly costate on whole length; area between external costa and lateral margin only with two regular rows, without additional punctures.

Ventrite V truncate at apex.</p><p>Host plant. According to the label data the specimen was collected on Dracophyllum sp. ( Ericaceae). However, it is quite unlikely the true host plant as all species of Cryptonychini with known host plant are associated with various monocots (e.g. Arecaceae, Cyperaceae, Pandanaceae, Poaceae, Orchideaceae). We assume that the beetle was hiding among leaves as the plant resembles Pandanaceae and thus provides a similar shelter.</p><p>Type material examined.

Named after its locus typicus, Mt. Paniè.</p><p>Type locality. New Caledonia, Mt. Paniè, 1200–1300 m a.s.l.</p><p>Diagnosis. Caledonispa panieensis sp. nov. differs from C. sarasini in less marked sexual dimorphism in shape of interantennal process, which is in both sexes extending at least to half length of antennomere I (in C. sarasini interantennal process in males distinctly longer, while in females as long as or slightly shorter than antennomere I). Body colour in C. panieenis is never uniformly black or with obscure ferrugineous-brown hue on posterior half of elytra as in C. sarasini; in C. panieensis colouration of elytra varies from ochraceous with yellow costate intervals and lateral margins to mostly ochraceous brown or dark brown with paler costae. From C. freycinetiae it differs in narrower elytral costae, longer interantennal process in both sexes and especially in sexually dimorphic characters on fore and mid legs with mid tibiae in males strongly widened preapically forming sharp and broad plate behind middle (in C. freycinatiae without such plate) and distinctly smaller apical spines of all tbiae (in C. freycinatiae all tibiae armed with large spine). At first glance C. spinosa sp. nov. looks most similar in shape and sculpture of body but C. panieensis differs in shorter interocular plate with distance from anterior margin of eye to anterior corner of interocular plate as long as half length of globular part of antennomere I (in C. spinosa distance from anterior margin of eye to anterior corner of interocular plate as long as length of globular part of antennomere I); in dimorphic characters in structure of legs with mid tibiae in males strongly widened from midlength, forming expanded plate on inner margin (in C. spinosa midtibiae in males only slightly widened preapically, without expanded plate on inner margin); and in largely regularly punctate elytra between 3 rd costa and lateral margin (in C. spinosa this area almost complertely irregularly punctate).</p><p>Description. Length 9.80–12.80 mm, width 3.00–4.00 mm.</p><p>Body colour variable. In palest specimens entire body ochraceous with yellowish antennae and legs, only prosternal process, meso- and central part of metaventrite, base of ventrite I and posterior margins of last three ventrites darkened, brown. In common pale specimens head brown with ferrugineous vertex, pronotum brown with ferrugin- eous anterior corners and medial stripe, elytra yellowish brown with ochraceous to ferrugineous elytral costae (Fig. 61). Antennae black, legs pale brown, ventral side dark brown to black. In darkest specimens almost entire body black except partly reddish-brown abdominal ventrites (Fig. 51). Between palest and darkest forms various intermediate forms occur but within single locality usually predominate one colour form. Body glabrous except for yellowish hairs on frontoclypeus, short golden brown pubescence on distal antennomeres and golden orange pubescence on tarsal pads and apices of tibiae. Head approximately 1.5 × as broad as long, distance from anterior margin of eye to anterior corner of interocular plate as long as half length of globular part of antennomere I. Interocular plate rectangular, slightly convex, not separated from vertex. Surface of interocular plate coarsely and densely punctate, punctures almost touching each other, with deep medial sulcus extending to 3/4–4/5 length of plate, lateral sides carinate, anterior corners usually well marked, forming triangular, angulate and laterally protruding denticle (Figs 54, 55, 63, 64); interantennal process sexually dimorphic, longer in males (Figs 54, 63) than in females (Figs 55, 64) but never longer than ¾ length of antennomere I, strongly flattened laterally with more or less angulate to acute apex, dorsal part forming sharp keel, without sulcus. Frontoclypeus 1.3 × as long as broad (including interantennal process), acute apically, anterior corners forming elevated tubercles, surface flat with moderately coarse and dense punctures extending from base to anterolateral tubercles, anteriorly impunctate, without median keel or with rudiments of keel, whole surface with sparse, long hairs (Fig. 53). Antennae 0.32–0.34 × as long as body, slightly compressed apically; antennomere I large, approximately 1.2 × as long as broad; antennomere II short, 1.2–1.3 × as long as broad, 0.6 × as long as I; antennomere III elongate, 1.4 × as long as II; antennomeres IV–VI slightly shorter than III; antennomere VII approximately 1.3 × as long as III; antennomere VIII as long as III and antennomeres IX–X slightly longer than III; antennomere XI 1.4–1.5 × as long as X, subangulate apically (Figs 52, 62). Pronotum slightly wider than long, parallel-sided behind anterolateral projections, anterior margin moderately convex, basal margin bisinuate; anterior angles obtuse with small anterior tubercle, basal angles bearing small, elongate obtuse tooth (Figs 56, 65); disc slightly convex, slightly impressed near anterior corners, usually with small shallow impression in front of middle, without or with rudiments of medial sulcus along middle, surface shiny, punctation of prothorax coarse and dense, punctures of same size on whole disc, on sides interspaces slightly smaller than puncture diameter with very fine and sparse secondary punctures, along middle runs more or less sparsely punctate area. Elytra 2.4–2.5 × as long as broad, subparallel anteriorly and distinctly broadened posteriorly and widest in ⅔ length. Apex of elytra regularly rounded, with straight sutural angle and completely without lateral angle. Disc with 7–11 punctures in scutellar row, without additional punctures between scutellar row and suture; eight rows in posthumeral part, between rows 7 and 8 behind humeral callus several irregular additional punctures, nine rows behind middle but intervals with numerous additional punctures, apically rows disappear among similarly large secondary punctures; intervals 1–3 flat, intervals 4 and 6 obtusely costate on whole length, interval 8 narrowly costate on whole length. Spaces among costae in apical part of elytra slightly irregular but punctation always well marked. Ventral surface shiny, hypomera coarsely punctate; prosternum with narrow, punctate sulcus along anterior margin, alae of prosternum smooth, prosternal process finely and sparsely punctate, expanded, apicaly not impressed, smooth among punctures; mesoventrite partly with short grooves, metaventrite laterally microreticulate with moderately coarse and dense punctures, central part, anterior process and posterolateral convex with numerous oblique and transverse wrinkles; abdomen mostly shiny, with indistinct short grooves close to posterior margins of ventrites and apical emargination of last ventrite surrounded by granulate area. Legs stout, sexually dimorphic.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism distinct, in males interantennal process long, extending to ⅔–¾ length of antennomere I, often curved and reminiscent of short rhinoceros horn (Fig. 54), fore tibiae more widened apically than in females with slightly deeper apical excavation than in females (Fig. 57, 66), mid tibiae strongly widened preapically forming sharp and broad plate behind middle, apices of tibiae armed with moderately long, black spine (Figs 59, 68). In females interantennal process short, extending to half length of antennomere I (Fig. 55), fore tibiae slightly less widened apically than in males, with slightly shallower apical excavation (Figs 58, 67), mid tibiae only slightly widened behind middle and not forming plate, apically armed with very small black spine (Figs 60, 69). Apex of abdominal ventrite shallowly emarginate in males while truncate in females.</p><p>Host plants. According to label data specimens were collected on Freycinetia sp., Pandanus sp. ( Pandanaceae). Several specimens were collected on Astelia sp. ( Asteliaceae), unfortunately Gressitt did not mentioned finding also larvae on this plant, and thus it remains to be discovered whether Astelia is a host plant or merely provides similar kind of shelter as pandans.</p><p>Type material examined.

Length 13.50–13.80 mm, width 4.00– 4.50 mm .</p><p>Almost whole body black, in some specimens posterior half of elytra with hardy perceptible ferrugineousbrown hue, head behind eye and coxae often ferrugineous-brown (Figs 70, 71). Abdomen completely black or sides of ventrites with small ferrugineous-brown patches. Legs and antennae black, tarsi sometimes ferrugineous-brown. Body glabrous except for yellowish hairs on frontoclypeus, short golden brown pubescence on distal antennomeres, golden orange pubescence on tarsal pads and apices of tibiae. Head 1.8 × as broad as long, interocular plate rectangular, slightly convex, especially in anterior part, at base distinctly impressed thus distinctly separated from vertex. Surface of interocular plate coarsely and densely punctate and with narrow, median sulcus along 3/4–4/5 length, sides and anterior corners of interocular plate narrowly margined, but corners obtuse; interantennal process in both sexes long, sexually dimorphic, strongly flattened laterally with thin sulcus along dorsum (Figs 74, 75). Frontoclypeus slightly longer than wide (excluding interantennal process), subacute apically, anterior corners forming elevated tubercles, area below tubercles flat, with several setose punctures, along middle runs well marked median keel (Fig. 73). Anterior margin of prosternum distinctly elevated, in middle with shallow emargination. Antennae 0.3 × as long as body, slightly compressed apically; antennomere I long but stout, approximately 1.2 × as long as broad; antennomere II very short, as long as broad, twice shorter than I; antennomere III approximately 1.4 × as long as II; antennomeres IV–VI and VIII approximately as long as III; antennomeres VII, IX, X approximately 1.2–1.3 × as long as III; antennomere XI 1.6 × as long as X, subangulate apically (Fig. 72). Pronotum approximately 1.1 × as broad as long, shallowly constricted in middle, anterior margin distinctly convex, basal margin shallowly bisinuate; anterior angles obtuse with small, sharp anterior tubercle, basal angles bearing small, elongate acute tooth; disc mostly flat, slightly impressed near anterior corners and with well developed median sulcus, shiny, punctation on sides of prothorax coarse and dense, punctures almost touching each other, on top of disc punctures sparse, especially along medial sulcus runs more or less impunctate area (Fig. 76). Elytra approximately 2.4 × as long as broad, subparallel basally and slightly broadened from base to middle and widest somewhat behind middle. Apex of elytra not emarginate, only sutural angle with small spine, lateral angle broadly rounded. Disc with 10–12 punctures in scutellar row, eight rows in humeral part but with numerous additional punctures below humeral callus, ten rows behind middle and 12 rows apically but slope with several additional punctures thus rows diffused among secondary punctation; intervals 4, 6, 8 narrowly costate on whole length, costae on intervals 4 and 6 flat anteriorly broadened and obtuse, other intervals flat. Ventral surface mostly shiny only abdomen more or less dull, pronotal hypomera moderately but densely punctate, punctures almost touching each other; prosternal process smooth laterally with minutely punctate intercoxal area and expanded apex; lateral plates of meso- and metaventrite smooth, central plate of mesoventrite with longitudinal striation, metaventrite laterally with coarse and dense punctures, rest of surface with distinct longitudinal and oblique striation; surface of first two and basal half of third ventrite more or less irregular, last two ventrites smooth. Legs stout, sexually dimorphic.</p><p>Sexual dimorphism distinct, in males interantennal process extremely long, twice as long as antennomere I and extending to ¾ length of antennomere III, strongly curved and reminiscent of rhinoceros horn (Fig. 74); in females process distinctly shorter, as long as or slightly shorter than antennomere I, hook shaped (Fig. 75). Femora in males strongly swollen, fore tibiae apically, on inner margin shallowly emarginate thus tibiae in ⅓ length before apex with distinct angulation (Fig. 79); mid tibiae in males explanate in apical ⅓ length, inner margin forming distinct plate, apex armed with large black spine (Fig. 77). In females femora only slightly swollen, fore tibiae on inner margin not emarginate, without angulation (Fig. 80), mid tibiae not explanate apically, without plate on inner margin, apically armed with small black spine (Fig. 78). Apex of abdominal ventrite deeply emarginate in males while shallowly emarginate in females.</p><p>Host plant. Pandanaceae: Pandanus sp. (Gressitt 1960b). Based on additional specimens the species feeds also on Freycinetia sp. ( Pandanaceae).</p><p>Remarks. Risbec (1936) mentioned the species in his work about parasites of the coconut trees and stated that it most likely feeds on some forest palms as it was described from mountains. Despite that, Lepesme (1947) suggested that the species is a pest of coconut tree ( Cocos nucifera). Risbec (1950) suggested that the statement is erroneous. Nevertheless, Mariau (1999, 2001) again listed C. sarasini among pests of coconut tree. It is very unlikely that the species is actually associated with coconut trees as it occurs at high elevations and therefore we concur with Risbec and do not list Cocos nucifera among host plants.</p><p>Type material examined.

Caledonispa spinosa sp. nov. is easily distinguished from all other species of Caledonispa by completely irregularly punctate elytra between 3 rd costa and lateral margin, while other species have around basal ⅓ length two or three nearly regular rows of punctures. At first glance the most similar is C. panieensis sp. nov. and for distinctive characters see diagnosis of C. panieensis .</p><p>Description. Length 11.40–14.20 mm, width 3.75–4.40 mm.</p><p>Head dark brown to brownish-black anteriorly with paler brown vertex. Pronotum from brown to dark brown, usually with pale brown medial stripe. Elytra uniformly pale brown to dark brown, always slightly paler coloured than sides of pronotum (Figs 82, 83). Antennomere I dark brown, remainder antennomeres pale brown, sometimes entire antennae brown. Thorax brown, prosternal alae and sides of metaventrite usually darker coloured than other parts of prothorax, dark brown to brownish-black. Abdomen pale brown, posterior margins of three basal ventrites darkened, brown. Fore femora brown with brownish-black median rings, mid and hind femora mostly dark brown to brownish-black with paler brown bases and apices, tibiae brown often with darker brown external margin, tarsi brown. Body glabrous except for yellowish hairs on frontoclypeus, short golden brown pubescence on distal antennomeres and golden orange pubescence on tarsal pads and apices of tibiae. Head approximately 1.3 × as broad as long, distance from anterior margin of eye to anterior corner of interocular plate as long as length of globular part of antennomere I. Interocular plate rectangular, slightly convex, not separated from vertex. Surface of interocular plate coarsely and densely punctate, punctures almost touching each other, with deep median sulcus extending to 3/4–4/5 length of plate, lateral sides carinate, anterior corners obtuse or only slightly protruding anterad (Figs 86, 87); interantennal process short in both sexes, extending to ⅓ length of antennomere I, triangular, strongly flattened laterally, with acute apex, dorsal part forming sharp keel, without sulcus. Frontoclypeus as long as broad (including interantennal process), acute apically, anterior corners forming elevated tubercles, surface flat with coarse and moderately dense punctures extending from base to anterolateral tubercles, anteriorly impunctate, along middle runs narrow median keel, whole surface with sparse, long hairs (Fig. 85). Antennae 0.34 × as long as body, slightly compressed apically; antennomere I large, approximately 1.2 × as long as broad; antennomere II short, 1.2–1.3 × as long as broad, 0.6 × as long as I; antennomere III elongate, 1.4 × as long as II; antennomeres IV–IV slightly shorter than III; antennomere VII approximately 1.3 × as long as III, antennomere VIII as long as III and antennomeres IX–X slightly longer than III; antennomere XI 1.4–1.5 × as long as X, subangulate apically (Fig. 84). Pronotum slightly wider than long, parallelsided behind anterolateral projections, anterior margin moderately convex, basal margin bisinuate; anterior angles obtuse with small anterior tubercle, basal angles bearing small, elongate obtuse tooth; disc slightly convex, slightly impressed near anterior corners, usually with small shallow impression before middle, without or with rudiments of medial sulcus along middle, surface shiny, punctation coarse and dense, punctures of same size on whole disc, on sides interspaces slightly smaller than puncture diameter with very fine and sparse secondary punctures, along middle runs more or less sparsely punctate area (Fig. 88).

Spaeth (1936) described I. ferruginea explicitly from a single specimen deposited in BMNH. Gressitt (1957, 1960a, 1960b) studied only the type specimen, which however, is not presently found in BMNH collection and is missing since 1974 (M. Geiser, pers. comm.).

This genus is close to Torquispa as the anterior margin of prosternum is forming distinct collar projecting towards mouthparts and separated by sulcus from prosternum but differs in interorcular plate flat, lower than vertex and separated from it by shallow sulcus (in Torquispa interorcular plate strongly convex, separated from vertex by deep sulcus), interocular process broad with deep sulcus dorsally (in Torquispa interocular process flattened, without sulcus dorsally), pronotum on each side with broadly rounded projection at anterior corners (in Torquispa pronotum on each side with conical tubercle at ⅓ length), eyes large, gena obsolete (in Torquispa eyes small, gena distinct); elytra without scutellar row of punctures (in Torquispa with scutellar row).</p><p>Description. Moderately large beetles, body length 14.90–16.10 mm. Antennae 11-segmented. Body slim and elongate, at least 3 × as long as wide. Head wider than long, interocular plate rectangular, flat, separated from vertex by shallow sulcus. Interantennal process elongate, only slightly shorter than length of antennomere I, not keel-shaped, sides deeply impressed but dorsal part broad with deep sulcus. Frontoclypeus narrow and elongate. Prosternum with prosternal collar, anterior margin of collar shallowly emarginate. Prosternal process in intercoxal area wider than half width of coxa, mostly smooth and shiny. Pronotum slightly longer than wide, with obtuse lateral carina, with broadly rounded projection at anterior corners. Punctation of pronotal disc moderate to coarse, disposed irregularly, at least top of pronotum partly impunctate with smooth and shiny surface. Elytra without scutellar row of punctures, eigth rows in posthumeral part, eigth rows behind middle and ten rows apically, interspaces narrow, flat or only slightly convex. Thorax and abdomen mostly smooth and shiny, without special sculpture. Legs moderately stout, not sexually dimorphic.

Uhmann (1954) stated that Torquispa caledoniae differs in many points from T. vittigera (type species for the genus Torquispa) but he maintained them in the same genus as both have the anterior margin of prosternum projecting towards mouthparts. Würmli (1975) pointed that T. caledoniae is quite different from the type species based on the primary description as the types were unknown to him. Würmli (1976) studied types of both species and stated that by general appearance they are very similar and based on a closer study there is no need to propose a separate genus for T. caledoniae . However, he did not give any further comments or justifications.</p><p>Defining genera in Cryptonychini is difficult since many taxa are quite similar and nothing is known about their phylogenetic relationships. On the other hand, we have examined voluminous material of New Caledonian Cryptonychini as well as representatives of all other genera in this tribe and evaluated morphological characters used to separate the genera. Such differences in the head morphology (see diagnosis) as between T. caledoniae and T. vit- tigera are not found in any other genera of Cryptonychini . Indeed, the structures can be of various shapes, convexity, punctation etc. but still they have similar general outline. This is also supported by the discovery of the second species of true Torquispa, which has structural characters of the head just like T. vittigera . Therefore we concluded that T. caledoniae deserves to be placed in its own genus.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A1D6638741E445FF7DF95D042F79FE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The tribe currently contains 167 species and subspecies classified in 21 genera; 114 of them restricted to Australo-Papuan Region. Cryptonychus (30 species) and Gyllenhaleus (3 species) are restricted to tropical Africa; monotypic Xiphispa and Gestronella (6 species) are restricted to Madagascar with one species of Gestronella reported also from Reunion; monotypic Nesohispa Maulik, 1913 in Seychelles; Brontispa with the widest distribution ranging from Mauritius and Rodriguez (2 species), Philippines (1 species), Palau (1 species), New Guinea and surrounding islands (10 species), Somolons (1 species), Northern Australia (2 species), Micronesia (2 species), Samoa (1 species), New Caledonia (2 species), one species B. longissima (Gestro, 1885) is distributed from New Hebrides to Taiwan and continental SE Asia but its original range was probably much smaller as it is an invasive pest of the coconut tree introduced to many places; Octodonta in Indonesia and Malaysia (3 species), Philippines (3 species), New Guinea and surrouding islands (3 species); monotypic Drescheria in Java; Callistola in Palau (3 species), Moluccas (3 species), Solomons (5 species), New Guinea and surrounding islands (30 species) and supposedly one species in Australia; Ceratispa (23 species), Ischnispa (2 species), Oxycephala (2 species), Palmispa (2 species), Plesispa (7 species) restricted to New Guinea, with exception of Plesispa reichei Chapuis, 1875 —a widespread pest of Nipa palm; Aulostyrax (2 species) and Calamispa (1 species) in Solomon Islands; and finally Caledonispa (5 species), Isopedhispa (4 species), Paratorquispa (1 species), Stephanispa (2 species), Teretrispa (4 species), Torquispa (2 species), and Wanatispa (2 species) restricted to New Caledonia. To sum up the majority of the diversity is in wet tropical areas of Australasia and the diversity rapidly decreases towards the west and is basically limited by the Huxleyʼs line, with the exception of two species found on Java. No native species occurs in mainland SE Asia, Sumatra or Borneo. In Africa most of the diversity is in tropical rainforests of western and central Africa, and Madagascar with a few species in the Mascarenes and Seychelles.</p><p>There are several possibilities for explaining present day dististribution of Cryptonychini, e.g. Gondwanan origin, vicariance or dispersion. Unfortunately none can be properly tested because of the lack of data. Up to day there is no fossil evidence for Cryptonychini nor any molecular phylogeny. Reconstruction of the molecular phylogeny is complicated because of unavailability of fresh material due relative rarity of the beetles caused by their hidden way of life. Although Gondwanan distribution is one of the alternatives we find it quite unlikely because the taxa are generally uniformly characterized by combination of low number of homoplasies with nearly no apomorphies.</p><p>Moreover most of genera as well as species within them are quite similar and rather difficult to be identified what could suggest dispersion. This can be also supported by their host plants as Pandanaceae were considered that they may have Gondwanan origin, however, recent studies suggest dispersion (Gallaher et al. 2015). The disjunction of Afrotropical and Australasian Cryptonychini could be also explained by vicariance. This can be supported by the host plants as Heads (2010) explained the diversity of New Caledonian palms by vicariance. On the other hand, strictly speaking about the beetles, their disjunction could simply be an artefact of sampling effort considering that they were, with several exceptions, rather seldom collected as demonstrated by their absence in historic collections and the fact that J. L. Gressitt collected and described ca ⅔ of the Australasian known diversity working mainly in New Guinea. Therefore it would be desirable to reconstruct molecular phylogeny of Cryptonychini to better understand their diversity and distribution pattern.</p><p>The biogeography of New Caledonia is complicated and the opinions changed rapidly over the past decades (e.g. Grandcolas 2016, Heads 2018). Currently it is widely accepted that New Caledonia was at least partly submerged. Also more and more studies support that many of the New Caledonian biota can be explained by dispersion, which however does not explain the presence of basal organisms such as Amborella Baill. (e.g. Heads 2018).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A1D663875BE428FF7DFC4C026E7AD6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
