LVIII. — Insects collected hy Messrs. J. J. Quelch and F, 

 Mc Connell on the Summit of Mount Roraima. By ChaeleS 

 O. Waterhouse.

 from Mount Boraima ; any species, therefore, from this 

 locality would be of interest. But, as it turns out, the 

 few obtained with considerable difficulty by Messrs. J. J. 

 Quelch and F. McConnell during their visit to the summit of 

 this mountain in November of last year are of double interest, 

 as all the species are new to science.

 general form and appearance, but is a little larger and a little 

 less narrowed anteriorly. 



The antdnnse are black, with the two basal joints and the 

 following ones on their underside reddish yellow. Tlie thorax
