18 HETEROMERA. 
with two (near the apex), the seventh with two or three (one at the shoulder and one or two at the apex), 
and the ninth with three or four (near the apex), shallow setiferous punctures, the apices a little produced 
but not mucronate; beneath brownish-piceous, shining; legs rather long and slender, the tarsi com- 
paratively broad, piceo-zeneous, the tibie and tarsi fusco-ferruginous. 
Length 11 millim.; breadth 3 millim. (¢.) 
Hab, Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One male example only. This species is of about the size and shape of (though 
more parallel than) 8. ver@pacis, from which its shining head and thorax (the latter 
thickly punctured instead of smooth), much larger eyes, stouter and very differently 
formed antenne, and broader and shorter tarsi abundantly distinguish it; from S. wne- 
pennis it may be known by its very much longer antenne and other characters mentioned 
above. 
20. Statira foveicollis. (Tab. I. fig. 16, ¢.) 
Elongate, rather narrow, varying in colour from piceo-zeneous with a greenish or violaceous tinge (the elytra 
sometimes more brilliant) to light brown with an eneous lustre, shining. Head almost smooth, the oral 
organs piceous, the eyes large ; antenne rather slender, moderately long, testaceous or fusco-testaceous— 
the apical joint in the male a little longer than joints 6-9, in the female 8-10, united ; prothorax rather 
longer than broad, the sides obsoletely margined at the extreme base, rounded anteriorly, and strongly 
constricted behind, the hind angles acute, the basal margin moderately raised and at the sides deeply 
grooved within, the surface sparsely and minutely punctured—in the male with a deep oblique lateral 
fossa (opaque and punctured within) about the middle, the corresponding space in the female being 
shallowly or obsoletely impressed and furnished with coarse scattered punctures; elytra with long and 
deep intrahumeral depression, moderately long, widest a little beyond the middle, subparallel towards the 
base, a little flattened on the disc, finely, closely, and rather deeply punctate-striate throughout, the 
interstices flat but becoming a little more convex towards the apex, the third with four (one at the 
extreme base and three near the apex), the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the ninth with two or 
three (near the apex), fine setiferous punctures, the apices obtuse; beneath varying in colour from fusco- 
testaceous to piceous-brown, shining ; legs rather slender, piceous or piceo-testaceous. 
Length 63-72 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 17-2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. British Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneauxr) ; Nicaragua (Sallé), Chontales 
(Belt, Janson); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Numerous examples. A small narrow species, «neous above, with testaceous 
antenne, very few setiferous punctures on the elytra, and very remarkable sexual 
characters. These latter consist of a large oblique fossa on each side of the thorax 
(precisely similar in the numerous examples examined) in the male, the corresponding 
space in the female being obsoletely and obliquely impressed and furnished with 
coarser punctures than the rest of the surface. 
21. Statira crassicornis. (Tab. I. fig. 17, 2.) 
Moderately elongate, subparallel, depressed, blackish-aneous, the elytra of a more brassy tint, moderately 
shining. Head short and very broad, minutely and rather thickly punctured; eyes (2) very large, 
narrowly separated ; antenne (@) ferruginous, the five basal joints piceous, exceedingly stout, com- 
paratively short, the apical joint longer than joints 9 and 10 united (but not equalling 8-10), 8-10 longer 
than broad and subequal; prothorax broad, very strongly transverse, the sides completely immarginate
