VIII. 1968"; "(No. NGW-C. 6. ) leg. Dr. J. Balogh". It is deposited in HNHM. Paratypes (total 11 specimens). Morobe Province: Bulolo-Vatut, 700 m, 15-21. VI. 1969. JS (1 S, BPBM); Wau, 1050-1150 m, 13. X. 1961-7.1.1963, JS, JHS (4 Stf. 1 <j>, BPBM; 1 6, 2 22> SPCB; 1 5, HNHM ex BPBM; 1 3, HNHM ex SPCB). Remarks: This species is similar to Casnonidea variabilis (Macleay, 1887), but the colour pattern of the elytra clearly distinguishes it. Casnonidea flavipes sp n. (Figs 35, 41) Head, pronotum, scutellum and ventral surface dark blackish brown to black; elytra blackish brown, rarely unicolorous, usually with a variable number of irregular pale spots spots may partly be confluent and more numerous on humeral part; antennae brown with 2 basal segments somewhat reddish; legs pale yellow, often semitranslucent.
