This is one of the most remarkable species of Statira and distinguished from all others 
of the genus, except the following, by the shape of the anterior femora and tibie: the 
former are coarsely denticulate and furnished with long scattered hairs on their inner 
edge, and very stout, and the latter are much curved and armed on the inner side a little 
beyond the middle with a sharp triangular tooth; these characters are precisely similar 
in both sexes. In the typical form the elytral interstices are perfectly flat, but in the 
variety « (examples of which were collected in two localities with others of the type- 
form) they are feebly convex. The third and fifth elytral interstices have each about 
four or five moderately coarse scattered setiferous punctures, one or two of which are 
sometimes obsolete or irregularly placed; and the ninth, in rare examples, has one or 
two similar punctures towards the apex. ‘The number of teeth on the anterior femora 
varies from ten to fifteen. The antenne are similarly formed in both sexes, and are 
ferruginous, with the three basal joints piceous; and the apical joint is about as long 
as, or a little longer than, joints 8-10 together. The examples from British Honduras 
have the elytra brownish-piceous with a translucent eneous tinge, and the variety ( is 
entirely castaneous. 8S. glabrata was captured in great abundance at Jalapa and Cape- 
tillo; more than 100 examples have been received. 
2. Statira denticulata. 
Elongate, zeneous or greenish-eneous, the elytra sometimes cupreous in ‘tint at the sides and apex, shining. 
Head with a few exceedingly minute scattered punctures; eyes moderately large; antennee moderately 
long, and similar in both sexes, piceous or piceo-ferruginous, the apical joint longer than joints 8-10 
united ; prothorax longer than broad, the sides much rounded anteriorly, strongly constricted behind, and 
obsoletely margined at the extreme base, the hind angles sharp and prominent, the base strongly margined 
and the margin raised, the surface sparsely and minutely punctured; elytra with shallow intrahumeral
