<i>ns of Chontales, all of them,with one exception [FohjrapMs Fahricii), being as yetonly known from that province, but probably extendinginto Costa Eica, One of these, the lovely little Cosmisoma Titania,No. 7 in Plate, has been appropriately named after theQueen of the Fairies by Mr. Bates. It was first foundby Mr. Janson, junior, who came out to Chontales pui-posely to collect insects ; and I afterwards obtained itin srreat numbers. The use of the curious brushes onthe antennse is not known. Another longicorn, aboutthe same size (Corcmia hirtipes), has its two hindmostlegs greatly lengthened, and furnished with brushes:one I saw on a branch was flourishing these in the air,and I thought at first they were two black flies hoveringover the branch, my attention being taken from thebody of the beetle by the movement of the brushes. Another fine longicorn, figured in Plate, Dcliathisnivea, looks as if made of pure white porcelain spottedwith black. It is a rare beetle, one or two specimens</i>
