Description

FAMILY ELATERIDAE

Four species of Elateridae have been previously recorded from the island of Guam. As a result of collections made by the Guam Entomological Survey in 1936, three more species, here described as new, can be added. A fourth, represented by an incomplete specimen, adds still another, hitherto unknown from the island. Types of the new species are in the collection of the Experiment Station, Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association.
