24. P)whiriiiiis Jllii/uqjeri, u. sp. 



PNOHIRMUS WHYMPERI, DISTANT. 

 LA MONA. 



Hall. La Mona (100 feet). Three examijles. 

 Lonu. 13 to 14 millim. 



Sulifaiu. Emewin/E. 



25. Emesa sp. 



Hah. Illiniza (16,500 feet). 



A single specimen of this genus was captured by Mr. ^\'hyni2jer at tliis 

 ele\ation, and was, as tliat traveller informs me, " the highest animal life of 

 any kind ohtained or observed. I did not even see Condors so high as this." 

 The specimen being contained in spirit, was incapable of exact identifica- 

 tion, though I dissected it for that j)urpose. Its nearest ally is the E. longipes, 

 De Geer, a well-kno\^ai North American insect which is described as living 

 " in the branches of small pine trees, and in outhouses and barns."
