Abstract:

Two new species of the platyurine keroplatid genus Proceroplatus, P. pectinatus, n. sp. and P. moala, n. sp., from Fiji are described and illustrated. These mark the first records of the genus from these islands. Proceroplatus pectinatus is only the second species known in the genus possessing pectinate antennae. A key to the species of Australasian/Oceanian Proceroplatus is given.
