Description
4.Simodactylus species.
A specimen of this genus, lacking head and thorax, was found by R. L. Usinger June 27, 1936 on Mt. Alifan; its reddish brown elytra measure 12 mm. in length. It is very different from the Polynesian S. cinnamomeus (Boisduval). The Mt. Alifan insect appears similar to S. hesperius Van Zwaluwenburg from Palau and the Carolines, and to S. palauensis Van Zwaluwenburg from Palau; like them, it bears a resemblance to some of the Philippine species of the genus. Its occurrence in the mountain forest suggests that it is native to Guam.
