This is the smallest Capricorn insect that has come under my no- 

 tice. It appears closely allied to the genus Mesosa of Megerle, from 

 which I have separated it, as the antennae have only ten articulations, 

 whereas the latter has eleven. It was captured in the Island of 

 St. Vincent's by the Rev. Lansdown Guilding, and named in ho- 

 nour of J. Francis Stephens, Esq. The eyes are similar to those of 

 the genus Tetraopes ; and the incrassated legs, with regard to the size 

 of the insect, are remarkable.

I have named this last species in honour of Lieut. Roe, R.N., 

 whose arduous services in surveying the coasts of Australia will be 

 more properly appreciated as that country becomes better known.
