20 HETEROMERA. 
margined towards the base only, rounded anteriorly, and strongly constricted behind, the hind angles 
moderately prominent, the basal margin raised and at the sides rather deeply grooved within, the surface 
closely and very minutely punctured; elytra with shallow or rather deep intrahumeral depression, 
moderately long, very finely punctate-striate, the punctures quite shallow, transverse, and approximate, 
the interstices flat or feebly convex but becoming more convex towards the apex, the third with three or 
four and the fifth with one or two (towards the apex), the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the 
ninth with two or three (at the apex), coarse setiferous punctures, the punctures (the one on the seventh 
excepted) usually fuscous in colour and extending completely across the interstice, the apices obtuse ; 
legs (and under surface) varying in colour from piceous to reddish-testaceous. 
Length 8-10 millim.; breadth 2-25 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Var. a. Varying in colour from black to castaneous, the elytra entirely eneous or suffused with that colour. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Var. 3. Reddish-castaneous or reddish-testaceous, each elytron usually with a piceo-seneous lateral stripe 
extending from the shoulder to about (or beyond) the middle, the setiferous impressions not darker in 
colour. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); Guatemata, Purula, San Gerénimo, Chacoj (Cham- 
pion). 
Var. y. More elongate ; reddish-castaneous, the elytra (except along the suture) indeterminately suffused with 
greenish-seneous. 
~ Hab. Guatemata, Sinanja (Champion). 
Var. §. Shorter; piceous-brown, the elytra piceous or piceo-sneous with the disc indeterminately lighter. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Chacoj (Champion). 
The type-form and the var. 8 were captured in numbers; of the other varieties we 
have only two or three examples of each. The typical form of S. multiformis resembles 
that of S. nigrosparsa, as described by Maklin; it differs from it in having the head 
and thorax very much smoother, the latter being closely and minutely punctured (not 
scabrous), almost immarginate at the sides (in S. nigrosparsa the sides are very distinctly 
margined throughout), and with less prominent anteriorangles. There are no setiferous 
impressions at the apex of the first elytral interstice, and only two or three towards the 
apex of the third and fifth, in & multiformis. This species appears to be still more 
variable in colour than S. nigrosparsa; the typical form much resembles a Calleida 
inhabiting the same district. The apical joint of the antenne of the male varies in 
length, and in some Chiriqui examples nearly (if not quite) equals the six preceding 
joints united. The tibiez are not grooved on their outer edge. 
24. Statira tolensis. 
Elongate, subopaque, reddish-testaceous, the elytra of a more testaceous tint. Head closely and finely 
punctured; the eyes large, black ; antennee ferruginous, moderately stout, the apical joint (3) about as 
long as joints 7-10 united; prothorax convex, as long as broad, the sides obsoletely margined at the base 
and apex, a little rounded at the middle, somewhat oblique in front, and strongly constricted behind, the
