Description

40. Oxydema longulum (Boheman), Zimmerman, B. P. Bishop Mus., 0cc. Papers 15 (25): 287, 1940 (pl. 4, C).

Rhyncolus longulus Boheman, Eugenies Resa, 149, 1859.

Pseudolus longulus (Boheman) Sharp, Roy. Dub. Soc., Trans. II, 3: 190, pl. 5, fig. 33, 1855.

This species is widely spread in eastern Oceania but has not heretofore been recorded from so far west as Guam. One specimen, Yigo, from a seed cluster of a palm (Coccothrinax ?), Nov. 13, 1936, Swezey.

This species can be separated from 0. fusiforme with the unaided eye because of its usually stouter form and smoother appearance. 0. fusiforme is more slender and its deeply grooved elytra and sculptured elytral intervals give it a distinctive appearance.
