Odontochila lacordairei Gory. 



Suapure, April, May, June, and November, 



All the species of Odontochila were found running about in 

 the shade of the virgin forest where there was but little under 

 growth. Their habits are quite similar, excepting that cayen 

 nensis F. would occasionally, upon being disturbed, seek tempo 

 rary refuge by flying onto foliage, but never more than a few feet 

 above ground. The several species are quite wary and, on ac 

 count of their dark colors, are not conspicuous objects among the 

 dead leaves which carpet the ground throughout the forest, out 

 side of which none of these species were ever met with.
