STATIRA. 19 
(but sharply separated from the flanks), dilated and strongly rounded anteriorly, and abruptly constricted 
behind, the hind angles acute, the basal margin much raised and laterally very deeply grooved within, the 
disc flattened, the surface rather densely, irregularly, and very minutely punctured (the disc with 
numerous very fine irregular scratches), the sides smoother ; elytra with long and rather deep intrahumeral 
depression, comparatively short, subparallel to beyond the middle, flattened on the disc, very finely and 
closely punctate-striate, the interstices flat, the third, fifth, and ninth each with about six (scattered 
between the base and apex and almost equidistant), and the seventh with one (at the shoulder), fine 
setiferous punctures, the apices obtuse ; beneath piceous-brown, shining; legs short and stout, piceo- 
ferruginous, the femora darker towards the apex, the tarsi ferruginous. 
Length 8$ millim.; breadth 24 millim. ( 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith, April 1888). 
A single female example. S. crassicornis is not closely allied to any other known 
Central-American member of the genus, though it closely approaches one or two species 
from the Amazonian region. The very broad head, large eyes, strongly transverse 
thorax, stout limbs (the antenne exceedingly stout), depressed and rather short form, 
and other characters mentioned above give S. crassicornis a facies quite distinct from 
any other species here enumerated. 
22, Statira isthmiaca. (Tab. I. fig. 18.) 
Moderately elongate, rather broad, depressed, blackish-seneous, the elytra of a unicolorous bright greenish- 
geneous tint, shining. Head shallowly longitudinally impressed between the eyes in the middle, almost 
smooth, the eyes small; antenne rather short, slender, ferruginous but darker towards the base—the 
apical joint in the male fully as long as, in the female a little shorter than, joints 8-10 united ; prothorax 
about as long as broad, the sides completely immarginate, strongly rounded anteriorly, and abruptly 
constricted behind, the hind angles prominent and rather acute, the basal margin much raised but 
scarcely grooved within, the surface with exceedingly minute widely scattered punctures; elytra with 
shallow intrahumeral depression, rather broad, comparatively short, widest beyond the middle, shallowly | 
transversely impressed on the disc below the base, finely, closely, and rather deeply punctate-striate 
throughout, the interstices fat or feebly convex, the third with three (between the middle and apex, the 
anterior one sometimes obsolete), the fifth with two (one near the apex and one near the middle, the 
latter sometimes obsolete), the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the ninth with three or four (near 
the apex), fine setiferous punctures, the apices a little produced but obtuse; beneath piceous-brown, 
shining ; legs slender, piceous, the tarsi lighter. 
Length 9-93 millim. ; breadth (at the shoulders) 23-22 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One male and two female examples. The unicolorous and transversely impressed 
elytra, fine setiferous punctures, almost smooth head and thorax (the latter immar- 
ginate), and shorter and more slender antenne distinguish this species in a moment 
from S. ignita, to which it is in other respects nearly allied.

23. Statira multiformis., (Tab. I. fig. 19, 3.) 
Moderately elongate, shining, varying in colour from black or piceous to reddish-testaceous, the elytra with 
the shoulders or about the basal third piceo- or greenish-aneous. Head with minute scattered punctures, 
the eyes moderately large; antenne piceo-ferruginous or ferruginous—the apical joint in the male equal 
to five (sometimes to nearly six and sometimes only to a little more than four), and in the female to 
nearly four, of the preceding joints united ; prothorax convex, about as long as broad, the sides obsoletely
