STATIRA. | 43 
behind, the hind angles not acute but prominent, the basal margin raised and shallowly grooved within, 
the sides with scattered coarse deep punctures (much finer than those on the head), the basilar groove 
rather closely punctured, the disc impunctate; elytra with shallow intrahumeral depression, very long, 
subparallel to beyond the middle, depressed on the disc, very closely and finely punctate-striate, the 
punctures not quite extending to the apex, the interstices flat, the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth 
wider and each with a row of. closely and irregularly placed setiferous punctures (the third with two 
irregular rows) extending from the base to the apex, the punctures coarse and deep on the seventh and 
ninth and fine and shallow on the other interstices, the apices rather obtuse ; the entire under surface (the 
middle of the metasternum excepted) with somewhat closely placed coarse setiferous punctures ; legs long 
and slender, ferruginous, the femora and tibie clothed on all sides with long hairs. 
Length 10 millim.; breadth 22 millim. (¢.) 
‘Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdénimo 3000 feet (Champion). 
A single male example. This species is allied to 8. cribrata. It differs from it in 
having the alternate elytral interstices only with setiferous punctures, those on the 
two outer interstices being very coarse and deep; and the head and thorax sub- 
opaque and with fewer punctures (those on the head much coarser and very few in 
number), the disc of the latter being impunctate. As in S. cribrata the upper and 
under surfaces and the femora and tibie on all sides are rather thickly clothed with long 
erect hairs. 
63. Statira pilipes. (Tab. II. fig. 22, 2.) 
Moderately elongate, depressed, piceo-testaceous, shining, the elytra with a translucent purplish tinge which 
changes to greenish-wneous at the base. Head closely, coarsely, and deeply punctured posteriorly and 
between the eyes, the latter (Q) small and widely separated ; antenna ( @ ) ferruginous, long and slender 
—the apical joint not so long as joints 8-10 united, the latter elongate ; prothorax about as long as broad, 
the sides immarginate, a little rounded about the middle, almost straight in front, and moderately constricted 
behind, the hind angles acute, the basal margin moderately raised, the entire surface coarsely, deeply and 
closely punctured, the punctures separate one from another ; elytra with shallow intrahumeral depression, 
rather broad, comparatively short, widest beyond the middle, crenate-striate, the punctures approximate and 
transverse from the base to about the middle, the interstices moderately convex throughout, the first, third, 
fifth, seventh, and ninth each with a very irregular row of closely placed setiferous punctures extending 
from the base to the apex, the apices obtuse ; legs slender, obscure testaceous, the femora and tibiz on all 
sides, and the tarsi above, somewhat thickly clothed with long erect hairs. 
Length 74 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 2 millim. (.) 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas ({6ge). 
This species is not closely allied to any other described here. Its chief characters 
are :—The long and slender antenne; the coarsely and deeply punctured head and 
thorax (the punctures quite separate one from another), the latter immarginate; the 
depressed and comparatively short elytra, with crenate strize and convex interstices, the 
alternate interstices each with an irregular row of closely placed setiferous punctures ; 
and the femora and tibie clothed on all sides with long erect hairs. S.. pilipes 
approaches S. ciliata and S. cribrata in many of its characters. 
V 64, Statira marmorata. (Tab. II. fig. 23, ¢.) 
Elongate, opaque, testaceous, the head and prothorax more or less suffused, and the elytra irregularly mottled,
