members of the planthopper family Dictyopharidae have low distributive capacity across
marine barriers and are practically absent on all oceanic Pacific islands and are still not
known from new Caledonia which is faunistically rich and situated between Australia and
Fiji. one species, Raivuna graminea F., is known from some oceanic islands (Western
Caroline, southern mariana) (Fennah, 1956), which are closer to the Asian region where
the species has a wide distribution. Thus the finding of Dictyopharidae on Fiji is very
interesting. A new species from Fiji belongs to the notogean genus Anasta Emeljanov,
2008 which is known from Australia (Queensland) and Timor (Emeljanov, 2008). The
genus Anasta belongs to the tribe Hastini, which has Holantarctic distribution.
