In this work, several species of Eumolpinae from Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands are revised, most belonging to the tribe Typophorini, and patterns of shared species between these archipelagos and Fiji are highlighted. The analysis of these species results in the proposition of several taxonomic acts, including the description of Eurydemus trispilus sp. nov., the synonymy of Dematochroma antipodumoides Jolivet, Verma and Mille, 2010 = D. soldatii Jolivet, Verma and Mille, 2010 syn. nov., the new combination Rhyparidella buxtoni (Bryant, 1936) comb. nov. from Rhyparida Baly, 1861, and the proposition of transferring Fijian and Vanuatuan Demotina Baly, 1863 to the genus Parademotina Gressitt, 1957 comb. nov., and this genus from Adoxini to Typophorini. The male genitalia and the spermatheca of eleven species are described, in most cases, for the first time, and a provisional generic key of the Eumolpinae from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu is presented.
