Oxathridia roraimae Gilmour, 1963

( Fig. 141 )

Oxathridia roraimae Gilmour, 1963: 8 .

Type locality — Holotype female: Brazil, Roraima: Mt. Roraima (Philipp Camp) ( AMNH).

Distribution— Brazil (Roraima).

Remarks. According to Gilmour (1963): “Locality: BRAZIL: Mt. Roraima, Philipp Camp (Alt. 5.400 ft.) (10. XI.1927) (Acc. 29780, Tate Nº 17)”; and “[Note:? BRITISH GUIANA—The data given above is that on the labels, but Mt. Roraima is generally considered, I believe, to be in Brisith Guiana].” Evidently, Gilmour was wrong because Mount Roraima is located in three countries: Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana. However, most of the mount is located in Venezuela. According to the maps from Tate (1930, 1932), Philipp Camp is in Venezuela and not in Brazil. And, according to Tate (1930): “Above Paulo three camps were established: Philipp and Rondon Camps, named for the Rondon Commision, and Summit Camp.” Tate was with General Cândido Mariano da Silva Rondon on Mount Roraima in 1927, when he was establishing Brazilian borders in the region ( Tate 1928): “Furthermore, we had been greatly assisted by the “free entry” accorded us by the Brazilian officials at Para and by our pleasant association, later on our journey into the interior, with General Candido Mariano Rondon and his staff of officers, with whom we traveled to the base of the mountain that was our goal.” It is not possible to know the reason because the label indicates “Brazil” (perhaps because the camp was established by Rondon). However, accepting that the specimen was collected in Philipp Camp, the correct country is Venezuela, and not Brazil or Guyana.
