24 HETEROMERA. 
fifth elytral interstice has four impressions on one elytron and only one on the other. 
S. cupreotincta cannot be confounded with any other species here enumerated ; it 
approaches the Colombian S. cupripennis, Makl., in some of its characters, though 
differing in its short thorax and other particulars. 
30. Statira verepacis. (Tab. I. fig. 23, 2.) 
Very elongate, depressed, dull brownish-piceous, the elytra aneous or greenish-zeneous and slightly shining. 
Head almost smooth, the eyes moderate in size; antenne very long and quite slender in both sexes, 
fusco-ferruginous—the apical joint in the male as long as joints 8-10 (these latter elongate), in the 
female rather longer than 9 and 10, united ; prothorax about as long as broad, a little flattened on the 
disc, the sides very narrowly margined throughout, feebly rounded about the middle, moderately con- 
stricted behind, and sometimes feebly emarginate anteriorly, the hind angles very acute, the basal margin 
‘much raised but not grooved within, the surface impunctate; elytra with long and shallow intrahumeral 
depression, very elongate and depressed, gradually widening from the base to far beyond the middle, 
finely and lightly punctate-striate, the punctures approximate but more scattered towards the apex, the 
interstices flat (the third, fifth, and seventh sometimes slightly convex towards the base), the first with 
one or two (close to the apex), the third with about five (widely separated, the anterior two fine, the 
others deeper and closer together), the fifth with one (towards the apex), the seventh with one (at the 
shoulder), and the ninth with four or five (close together near the apex), setiferous punctures, the apices 
slightly produced but not mucronate; beneath brownish-piceous, shining ; legs very long and slender, 
piceous. 
Length 104-12 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Purula in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Seven examples. The very long and slender limbs, depressed form, smooth and dull 
head and thorax, and elongate shape distinguish this species from all others of the 
genus here enumerated. ‘The following, S. curticollis, is allied to it; but differs in 
having shorter legs and antenne, the intermediate Joints of the latter much less elongate 
in both sexes, the thorax transverse, &c. 
31. Statira curticollis, (Tab. I. fig. 24, ¢.) 
Very elongate, depressed, brownish-black, opaque, the elytra piceous-brown and not so dull. Head with a 
few minute shallow scattered punctures, the eyes small and widely separated ; antenne ferruginous, 
rather short, moderately stout—the apical joint in the male about as long as joints 7-10, in the female 
8-10, united; prothorax transverse, the sides narrowly margined from the base to the apex, very little 
rounded and almost straight in front, and moderately constricted behind, the hind angles acute, the basal 
margin only a little raised and at the sides grooved within, the surface smooth ; elytra with long and 
deep intrahumeral depression, very elongate, if anything widest beyond the middle, subcoriaceous in texture, 
the apical portion shining, finely and very shallowly punctate-striate, the punctures moderately close, the 
interstices flat or very feebly convex, obsoletely punctured towards the apex, the first with about five 
(near the apex), the third and fifth each with from seven to ten (scattered between the base and apex), 
the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the ninth with from seven to ten (between the base and 
apex), shallow setiferous punctures, the apices a little produced but obtuse; legs long and slender, obscure 
testaceous. 
Length 82-94 millim.; breadth 21-23 millim. (3 2 .) 
Hab. Mexico (coll. F. Bates), Capulalpam, Las Peras (Sa//é). 
Six examples.
