Abstract: The collection upon which this paper is based was sent to me for determination by Elwood C. Zimmerman, Entomologist of Ber-nice P. Bishop Museum. I have included a few species from the Truk Islands which are supposed to be cotypes of species described by Fairmaire. They were received by the British Museum from the Godeffroy Museum in 1881, but have never been recorded. Some of the species, indeed, seem never to have been described; at least, I have been unable to find any descriptions. I have taken this opportunity to bring together such scattered records from the Caroline Islands as have come to my notice, but it is perhaps too much to hope that none has escaped me. The holotypes of the new species, unless otherwise designated, are in Bishop Musel.<l11. Available paratypes have been generously presented to the ·British Museum. RHYSODIDAE Clinidium sulcicolle Grouvelle, Rev. d'Ent. 22: 136, 1903 (Rogolu [Truk] Islands). HYDROPHILIDAE Dactylosternum superficiale Knisch, Treubia 6: 199, 1925 (Ponape Island.)
