38 HETEROMERA. 
the epipleure, yellowish-testaceous; the legs fusco-piceous, the basal two thirds of the femora reddish- 
testaceous. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA (Sallé). One female example. 
Var. y. Above and beneath testaceous, the head piceous-brown, the prothorax, legs, and antenne (except 
towards the apex) reddish-testaceous, 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes (Champion). One male example. 
This species varies very much in size and colour. It is chiefly distinguished from its 
allies by its coarsely punctured head and thorax, long antenne in the male, thickly and 
confusedly punctured elytral interstices, and hairy legs. S. corrosa in its elytral 
sculpture and hairy legs resembles S. brevipilis ; but it differs from that species in its 
less elongate shape, more prominent eyes, more slender antenne, shorter thorax, different 
colour, &c. 
54, Statira horrida. (Tab. II. fig. 16, ¢.) 
Elongate, rather convex, subopaque, blackish-violaceous, the prothorax reddish-testaceous, the body above and 
beneath thickly clothed with moderately long erect ashy hairs. Head coarsely and rugosely punctured, 
shallowly grooved on each side between the eyes anteriorly, the latter moderately large; antenne rather 
stout, moderately long, piceous, the apical joint ( 2 ) not so long as joints 8-10 united; prothorax convex, 
about as long as broad, the sides immarginate, rounded anteriorly, and strongly constricted behind, the 
hind angles moderately prominent, the basal margin grooved within, the surface coarsely and rather 
closely punctured ; elytra with very shallow intrahumeral depression, rather long, subparallel to beyond 
the middle, very coarsely and deeply punctate-striate, the punctures very closely packed and strongly 
transverse to beyond the middle and thence to the apex crenate, the interstices quite narrow, moderately 
convex to about the middle, strongly so beyond, and finely and confusedly punctured, the apices obtuse ; 
beneath piceous, shining, somewhat thickly punctured; legs rather long, piceous, thickly clothed with 
long erect ashy hairs. 
Length 74 millim.; breadth 2 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Panzos in Vera Paz (Champion). 
A single female example, captured by myself in the lower part of the Polochic valley. 
S. horrida resembles S. corrosa, the head and thorax being somewhat similarly shaped 
and punctured, but differs greatly in the sculpture of the elytra and also in the upper 
and under surfaces and legs being much more thickly clothed with long erect hairs. 
The rows of punctures on the basal half of the elytra are closely packed and very 
strongly transverse, and the interstices in consequence quite narrow, the latter being 
confusedly punctured. 
55. Statira punctatissima. 
Moderately elongate, rather dull, brownish-piceous, thickly clothed with short erect hairs, the prothorax and 
the front of the head testaceous, the elytra subopaque and with the shoulders and the suture (narrowly) 
testaceous. Head coarsely and closely punctured, the eyes moderately large; antenne ( ¢) long, fusco- 
ferruginous, the basal joint testaceous, the apical joint nearly as long as joints 7-10 united ; prothorax 
convex, about as long as broad, the sides immarginate, rounded anteriorly, and strongly constricted 
behind, the hind angles moderately prominent, the basal margin raised, the surface very coarsely, deeply,
