Remark). - Guinot, 1985: 450 (List). - Poupin, 1996a: 52 (Checklist). - Remark: The location "Hikueru" in Serčne (1984: 227) is only mentioned in the observations. It is not indicated under the material examined, and was not retrieved in the references cited by Serčne. It could be an erroneous reading in Guinot (1964: 59), where "Hikueru" is cited under Etisus frontalis Dana, just beneath E. demani Odhner. - Unpublished sp. coll. & det. G.
