STATIRA. . Bb. 
Var. a. Larger; the elytra with a slight greenish-sneous tinge, more elongate, the setiferous punctures on 
the third, fifth, and ninth interstices much fewer in number (about four or five on each), the two outer 
stris almost obliterated. 
Length 103-11 millim.; breadth 23-3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Salazar, Amecameca in Morelos (Hége). 
Two examples. 
Var. 3. The third and fifth interstices of the elytra with two or three very widely separated setiferous 
impressions only, and the ninth with several, and the first with four or five (as in the type), near the apex. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
Var.? Broader; the setiferous impressions on the alternate interstices almost entirely obsolete (one or two 
only visible on each at most), the apical interstices more distinctly punctured. 
Length 11 millim.; breadth 3} millim. ( 2.) 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Purula (Champion). One example. 
This is a depressed elongate species, with smooth, opaque, and transverse thorax, 
and very shallowly and finely punctate-striate elytra; the latter are subcoriaceous in 
texture and at the apex shining and punctured, and also have some shallow setiferous 
impressions on the first, third, fifth, and ninth interstices. SS. curticollis is different 
in facies from the allied forms. 
The var. « is represented by two mutilated specimens (the thorax in one of these 
is more rounded at the sides in front), and the var. 8 by a similar number; the var. ? 
from Guatemala, of which we have only a single abnormal female example, is possibly 
distinct. 
Labelled with the MS. name 8. drevicollis in Mr. F. Bates’s collection, a name 
already preoccupied for another species. 
32. Statira seneipennis. | 
Elongate, depressed, rather broad, varying in colour from blackish-eneous to piceo-castaneous, the elytra 
bright «neous or greenish-zneous with a golden tint, and the sides more or less suffused with cupreous, 
very shining. Head with a few fine scattered punctures, the eyes moderately large; antennz moderately 
long, rather slender, fusco-ferruginous, the basal joints darker—the apical joint in the male not quite so 
long as joints 7-10 (these latter rather elongate), in the female rather less than 8-10, united; prothorax 
about as long as broad, the sides very finely margined throughout, moderately rounded anteriorly, and 
strongly constricted behind, the hind angles acute, the basal margin much raised but not grooved within, the 
surface with a few fine indistinct scattered punctures; elytra with long and narrow intrahumeral 
depression, elongate and depressed, considerably wider behind the middle than at the base, finely and very 
lightly punctate-striate, the punctures approximate but more scattered towards the apex, the interstices 
quite flat throughout, the first with two or three (near the apex), the third and fifth each with about four 
(one near the base, the others towards the apex), the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the ninth 
(usually) with four or five (between the middle and apex), moderately coarse setiferous punctures, the 
apices a little produced ; legs slender, moderately long, piceous or piceo-castaneous. 
Length 94-114 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 23-3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guaremata, Purula and Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion).
