punctures, the femora and tibie on all sides with erect sete, and the thorax immar- 
ginate laterally, this species approaches S. cribrata ; it differs, however, in its nigro- 
eeneous colour, quite small eyes, shorter and stouter antenne (the apical joint much less 
elongate in the male), more coarsely punctured elytra, &c. The head and thorax are 
similarly, but more sparsely punctured than in S. cribrata; and the ventral segments 
have only three or four setiferous punctures on each side. The very much smoother 
head and thorax, and the flat interstices and much more finely and shallowly punctate- 
striate elytra distinguish S. setigera from S. nigrownea, to which it is in other respects 
closely allied. 
61. Statira cribrata. (Tab. II. fig. 20, ¢.) 
Very elongate, depressed, varying in colour from brownish-piceous to obscure testaceous, the elytra of a trans- 
lucent seneous tint, shining. Head with very coarse scattered setiferous punctures, the epistoma and 
labrum also with a few coarse punctures; eyes large, smaller in the female; antenne long and rather 
stout, more or less ferruginous—the apical joint in the male about as long as joints 7-9 united (8-10 
rather elongate, decreasing in length outwardly, 10 shorter than 9 but much longer than broad), in the 
female as long as 7 and 8 united ; prothorax about as long as or rather longer than broad, the sides im- 
marginate, moderately rounded anteriorly, and constricted behind, the hind angles not acute though rather 
prominent, the basal margin raised and shallowly grooved within, the surface with very coarse and deep 
widely scattered setiferous punctures; elytra with shallow intrahumeral depression, long and depressed, 
subparallel to the middle, finely and very closely punctate-striate, the interstices flat or feebly convex, 
each with a row of closely and irregularly placed fine setiferous punctures extending from the base to the 
apex, the apices rather obtuse ; the entire under surface (the middle of the metasternum excepted) with 
scattered coarse setiferous < uiichanes: and varying in colour from brownish-piceous to testaceous; legs 
long and slender, varying from brownish-piceous to testaceous, the femora and tibie on all sides clothed 
with long hairs. 
Length 8-103 millim.; breadth 27-3 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. GuateMaua, near the city (Salvin), Duenas (Salvin, Champion), Calderas 
7000 feet (Champion). 
Seven examples, four males and three females. A very distinct species, and easily 
recognized by the upper and under surfaces and the femora and tibie on all sides being 
rather thickly clothed with long erect hairs; the head and thorax bear very coarse and 
deep scattered punctures, and the elytral interstices each a row of fine and rather 
closely (but irregularly) placed setiferous impressions; the ventral segments (instead of 
having, as usual, a few setiferous punctures on each side) have punctures scattered over 
the greater part of their surface. 
62. Statira ciliata. (Tab. II. fig. 21, ¢.) 
Very elongate, depressed, dull reddish-castaneous ; the elytra shining, bright greenish-eneous with golden and 
cupreous tints towards the sides, the suture very narrowly castaneous. Head with a few (two only on 
each side between the eyes and a few behind) very coarse and very deep punctures, the epistoma and 
labrum with a few fine ones; eyes ( ¢) comparatively small, widely separated ; antenne very long, rather 
slender, ferruginous—the apical joint in the male the length of joints 7-9 united, 8 and 9 long and sub- 
equal, 10 shorter than 9 but much longer than broad; prothorax moderately convex, about as long as 
' broad, the sides narrowly margined towards the base, much rounded anteriorly, and strongly constricted
