These specimens were collected in a dead and dried condition with all appendages except a middle and a hind femur and rostrum of
one specimen
broken off. Hence the identification of these as a New Caledonian species is questionable. Even the generic assignment is doubtful because the number of antenna! segments is not known.
The specimens agree fairly well with Signoret's description and figure (Soc. ent.
France
, Ann. VI,
1:
212, pl. 8, fig. 33, 1881) but the pronotum is almost entirely black and the ocelli are practically invisible. Only in
one specimen
is there even a trace of ocelli. This condition is at once suggestive of the
New Zealand
Choerocydnus albosignatus
Buchanan
White, but the
Guam
specimens differ from this in color, puncturation, and form of ostiolar canal.
