Comparatively little is known of the species composition of the invertebrate communities occupyng caves in the American tropics. A manuscript prepared by Philip Chapman (1978) on his field study of the invertebrate cave faunas of the Serrania de San Luis of Falcon State. Venezuela, has prompted me to submit a report on my field studies of some other Venezuelan cave faunas. I had the opportunity to investigate the invertebrate faunas of four caves during field work in March 1971 on catopid beetles in northern Venezuela. Since the composition of the invertebrate faunas of Venezuelan caves is not well known. I here offer an account of my collections and observations. A review of much of the literature of Venezuelan cave invertebrates is presented in Chapman's paper which should serve as a companion to this one. The paper of Strinati (1971l must be mentioned as a starting point for modern tropical cave invertebrate faunal studies. Occasional issues of the Boletin de la Sociedad Venezolana de Espeleologia are an additional source of biological data not specificly cited by Chapman.
