10 HETEROMERA. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
Many specimens of this insect were captured by myself on the forest-clad slope of 
the Volcan de Chiriqui. S. chiriquina closely resembles S. glabrata in general facies ; 
but it is considerably larger, and, as well as having very differently-formed anterior 
femora and tibiz, has the setiferous punctures on the elytra much coarser and deeper, 
. and also present on the seventh interstice ; the antenne are not so stout, and the apical 
joint in the male is comparatively much longer. 
6. Statira scitula. 
Elongate, varying in colour from dark piceous-brown to reddish-castaneous, the elytra varying from seneous to 
reddish-castaneous with a translucent eneous tinge, sometimes slightly cupreous at the sides towards 
the apex, shining. Head very distinctly and rather coarsely punctured between the eyes and posteriorly ; 
eyes moderately large, smaller in the female; antenne more or less ferruginous, the three basal joints 
darker—the apical joint in the male nearly as long as joints 6-10,in the female rather longer than 
8-10, united; prothorax longer than broad, strongly constricted at the sides behind, the latter immar- 
ginate or obsoletely margined towards the base, the hind angles sharp and prominent, the basal margin 
raised and deeply grooved within, the surface finely and sparsely (sometimes more closely) punctured ; 
elytra with shallow or rather deep intrahumeral depression, moderately long, widest about the middle, 
parallel towards the base, finely and lightly punctate-striate, the punctures closely placed, the interstices 
quite flat, the third with about five (widely scattered between the base and apex), and the ninth with one 
or two (near the apex), shallow setiferous punctures, the apices obtuse; legs varying in colour from 
piceous to reddish-testaceous, moderately stout, the tibiz clothed with long hairs within ; anterior femora 
furnished with long scattered hairs on their inner edge in both sexes. 
Length 73-8 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 2-24 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge); Guaremata, San Gerénimo, Aceytuno (Champion). 
Four male and three female examples. | 
Var.? The elytra relatively longer, the rest as in the type. Length 84-9 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (M. Trujillo); Guatemaua, Capetillo (Champion). Three 
examples. 
Like S. tropicalis, this is a perplexing and variable species; and it is only distin- 
guishable from that insect by the more finely punctured elytral strie and flatter inter- 
stices. S. scitula is perhaps a variety of S. tropicalis, but the difference in the elytral 
sculpture (which seems to be constant) prevents me from treating it as such; in one of 
the male examples the eyes are smaller and the apical joint of the antenne is rather 
shorter than in the others. 
The variety (in the absence of the male sex) is doubtfully referred to the same species. 
7. Statira tropicalis. 
Elongate, piceo- or reddish-castaneous, the elytra with the sides entirely or from the base to about the middle 
and the base (usually) greenish-eeneous or golden-green, sometimes entirely greenish-aneous or eneous, 
shining. Head rather coarsely punctured at the sides between the eyes and posteriorly ; eyes moderately 
large, distinctly smaller in the female; antenne rather stout, moderately long, varying in colour from 
ferruginous to piceous—the apical joint in the male as long as joints 6-10 united (7-10 decreasing in
