Abstract
The single specimen of Passalidae known from the Galapagos Is. (Chatham Is.), formerly identified as Passalus interruptus (L.), is really P. punctiger Lepeletier and Serville. It is a slightly teneral female. Its length is closer to that of Guatemalan Pacific coast specimens of P. punctiger than to that of P. punctiger specimens from South American countries bordering the Pacific.
