depression, moderately long, widest a little behind the middle, parallel anteriorly, shallowly and regularly 
punctate-striate, the punctures fine and closely placed, the interstices flat, the third and fifth each with 
seven or eight, the seventh with three or four (one near the base, the others near the apex), and the ninth 
with five (widely separated), coarse setiferous punctures, the apices obtuse; beneath blackish-piceous, 
almost smooth, and very shining; legs piceous, the tarsi lighter; anterior femora coarsely denticulate 
(the teeth six or eight in number) and furnished with long scattered hairs on their inner edge, and very 
stout, and the anterior tibia curved and armed on the inner side beyond the middle with a short triangular 
tooth, in both sexes, 
Length 10-104 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 27 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Caldera, David (Champion). 
Numerous examples. This species is very closely allied to S. glabrata, but easily 
distinguished by the seventh elytral interstice also having setiferous punctures, and the 
ninth (instead of having two or three at the apex) five widely separated punctures; the 
teeth on the anterior femora are fewer in number; and the antenne are darker and 
have a comparatively longer apical joint. Towards the apex of the elytra the setiferous 
punctures are, as usual, coarser and closer, but on the ninth interstice they are coarse 
throughout and almost equidistant. 
3. Statira unidentata. (Tab. I. fig. 2, .) 
Closely resembling S. glabrata and S. denticulata and differing as follows :—The anterior tibie unarmed within 
and a little curved, and the anterior femora with a broad triangular tooth on the inner side a little beyond 
the middle, in both sexes; the antenne similarly formed in both sexes, ferruginous, the basal joint 
usually darker, the apical joint rather longer than joints 8-10 united; the elytra a little depressed on the 
disc, the surface of a unicolorous greenish-eeneous tint, the third and fifth interstices each with about seven, 
the seventh with three or four (one near the base, the rest near the apex), and the ninth with about four 
(between the middle and the apex), moderately coarse setiferous punctures, the apices obtuse; the legs 
ferruginous, the femora and tibie usually more or Jess piceous. 
Length 10-11 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 23-3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Playa Vicente (Sailé), Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége); Britis 
Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneaux); GuateMaLa, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
Eight examples. Though very closely resembling S. glabrata and S. denticulata in 
its general facies, this insect can be identified at once by the structure of the anterior 
legs. As in both these species, the sides of the thorax are obsoletely margined at the 
extreme base.

1 4, Statira interrupta. (Tab. I. fig. 3, ¢.) 
Elongate, eneous or greenish-zneous, very shining; the elytra towards the base more or less golden in tint 
and Jaterally (especially towards the apex) with bright cupreous reflections, entirely greenish-eneous, or 
(very rarely) greenish-violaceous. Head almost smooth; eyes large; antenne moderately long and joints 
3-10 rather elongate in both sexes, fusco-ferruginous, the three basal joints piceous—the apical joint 
in the male about or nearly as long as joints 8-10 united, in the female a little shorter (about three times 
as longas 10); prothorax rather longer than broad, the sides much rounded anteriorly, strongly constricted 
behind, and very finely margined at the extretpe base, the hind angles sharp and prominent, the base 
strongly margined and the margin raised, the surface sparsely and minutely punctured ; scutellum piceous ; 
elytra with shallow intrahumeral depression, long, widest about the middle, parallel towards the base, 
shallowly and regularly punctate-striate, the punctures fine and closely placed, the interstices flat, the
