D33687ACFF81E263FF69DC46FD6BFB1F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The small body size (<6 mm) and distinctly bicolored elytra of L. angulata, with orange pigmentation restricted to the basal 1 / 3 and advancing along the suture (Fig. 1), are similar to those of Lemodes rugosa Young (Fig. 16). The tempora (far more strongly produced in L. rugosa), pronotal shape (distinctly more constricted – more strongly hourglass-shaped in L. angulata), and elytral surface (more coarsely and deeply punctured in L. rugosa) are a few of the many differences that easily differentiate the two species.	en	Young, Daniel K.

D33687ACFF81E263FF69DC46FD6BFB1F.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet, angulata, is derived from the Latin root, “ angul- ” (= a angle), and “ - ata ” from the Greek, - atalant (= equal to). The name refers to the angulate, chevron-shaped form of the anterior edge of the dark, metallic-bluish region of the elytra.	en	Young, Daniel K.

D33687ACFF82E265FF69D9DAFEB1FE13.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The distinctly bicolored elytra of L. enarotadi with coppery-orange to yellowish-orange pigmentation restricted to the basal and distal quarters, and with a broad, medial, transverse metallic blue-violet fascia (Fig. 4) are similar to those of Lemodes isatabua Telnov, Lemodes schawalleri Young, and Lemodes securiforma Young. In L. schawalleri antennomeres 1 – 9 are largely black, 10 – 11 are creamy yellowish-orange, and the elytra are more coarsely and deeply punctate (Fig. 17). Antennomeres 1 – 4 and 11 are lightly pigmented in L. securiforma the terminal maxillary palpomere is strongly securiform (Fig. 18), and the abdominal venter is also black. From L. isatabua, L. enarotadi can easily be separated by the fairly straight anterior margin of the blue-violet elytral vitta (anterior margin abruptly receding along the suture in L. isatabua: Fig. 19), and by the paired, dorsal tibial carinae (well-developed in L. isatabua and virtually absent in L. enarotadi).	en	Young, Daniel K.

D33687ACFF84E265FF69DCD6FB9FF828.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet, gressitti, is a patronym based on the family name, “ Gressitt. ” I am pleased to name this species in honor of its collector, a renowned coleopterist, the late Dr. J. Linsley (Lin) Gressitt (1914 – 1982). His contributions to entomology in the Pacific region were vast; I had the pleasure of meeting him once in Hawaii, six years before his – and his wife’s – untimely deaths in a plane crash in China.	en	Young, Daniel K.

As detailed above, L. pembertoni is presently known only from the type locality, east by northeast of Port Moresby in Central Province, Papua New Guinea; in the region known as the Koitaki Plantation; presumably near - 9.411802 ° S, 147.468854 ° E.	en	Young, Daniel K.

D33687ACFF87E26BFF69DF42FAF5FD73.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The distinctly bicolored elytra of L. pembertoni with the orange pigmentation restricted to the basal 1 / 4 (Fig. 13) are similar to those of L. albertisi, L. bicolora, L. elegans, L. finisterrensis, L. rugosa, L. semicoerulea, and L. sulcata. However, the white, elytral setal patches within the metallic blue-violet to metallic blue-purple field are exhibited only by L. albertisi, L. elegans, L. pembertoni (Fig. 13), and L. sulcata. Because it possesses a shallowly depressed, mesal pronotal disk, L. pembertoni might be confused with L. sulcata. The fine, but distinct, linear, mesal, longitudinal pronotal sulcus of L. sulcata is diagnostic for that species. Among additional differences, L. sulcata has antennomeres 4 – 10 largely black, while in L. pembertoni, antennomeres 6 – 7 are largely rufopiceous and 8 – 10 are largely black.	en	Young, Daniel K.

The specific epithet, pembertoni, is a patronym honoring Cyril Eugene Pemberton, an entomologist associated with the Experiment Station of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association (1919 – 1953). It was during his 1928 field expedition to New Guinea in search of disease-resistant sugar-cane varieties that he collected this species. His trip was documented in a 1929 issue of The National Geographic Magazine, and also highlighted in the following website: http: // garamut. wordpress. com / 2009 / 03 / 11 / sugar-cane-expedition-to-png- 1929 /.	en	Young, Daniel K.
