48 HETEROMERA. 
humeral depression, moderately long, widest beyond the middle, with rows of fine punctures placed upon 
very shallow strie, the punctures not very closely placed, more scattered beyond the middle, and almost 
obsolete towards the apex, the interstices quite flat throughout, the alternate ones, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, each with 
a row of fine scattered setiferous punctures which extend from the base to the apex, the apices obtuse ; 
beneath wholly testaceous, shining; legs moderately long, testaceous, the tibie and tarsi piceo-testaceous, 
the femora glabrous and almost smooth, the tibia clothed with very short hairs within. 
Length 6-7 millim.; breadth 13-2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 1000 feet (Champion).

Four examples, three males and one female. This very distinct species is not closely 
allied to any other known to me; in size and general shape it approaches S. albo- 
fasciata, but differs totally in the structure of the antenne, and also in the legs being 
almost smooth, and not clothed with long erect: hairs. 
71. Statira rugicollis. 
Elongate, opaque, blackish-brown, the head (in part) and the elytra fusco-castaneous, the latter slightly 
shining, the oral organs and epistoma reddish-testaceous. Head densely and rugosely (but shallowly) 
punctured, the punctures longitudinally confluent, the eyes large; antenne moderately long, stout, 
ferruginous—the apical joint (¢) as long as joints 6-10 united, the penultimate joint rather short ; 
prothorax about as long as broad, the sides margined from the base to the apex, moderately rounded 
before the middle, strongly constricted behind, and sinuate-emarginate in front, the anterior angles 
prominent and projecting laterally but obtuse, the hind angles acute, the basal margin very little raised 
and not grooved within, the disc flattened posteriorly, the surface very densely and rugosely (but quite 
shallowly) punctured, the punctures longitudinally or sinuously confluent; elytra with shallow intra- 
humeral depression, moderately long, subparallel anteriorly, finely and rather closely and deeply punctate- — 
striate, the punctures transverse in shape, the interstices almost flat from the base to the middle, a 
little convex beyond, the first, third, and fifth each with about twelve (scattered between the base and 
apex), the seventh with four or five, and the ninth with about eight, rather coarse setiferous punctures, 
the apices obtuse; legs obscure testaceous, moderately stout, sparsely and roughly punctured, and clothed 
with very short hairs, the tibie towards the apex grooved on their outer edge. 
Length 9 millim.; breadth 23 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge). 
One male example. This species may be identified from the allied forms by its 
rugose head and thorax, the latter having the anterior angles prominent, and a distinct 
lateral margin from the base to the apex; the tibie are shallowly grooved towards the 
apex on their outer edge; the apical joint of the antenne in the male is as long as 
joints 6-10 united. S. rugicollis and S. guatemalensis have the head and thorax more 
coarsely sculptured than in any other species of the genus here enumerated. 
72. Statira guatemalensis. 
Closely resembling S. rugicollis, the head and prothorax very similarly shaped and sculptured, but with the 
anterior angles of the latter not so prominent, and also differing as follows :—The upper surface reddish- 
brown, the elytra obscure piceo-testaceous; the penultimate joint of the antenne in the male longer, the 
apical joint (3) not equalling joints 6-10 united; the elytra more elongate, the first interstice with two 
or three (at the apex), the third with eight and the fifth with six (widely scattered hetween the base and 
apex), the seventh with one (at the shoulder), and the ninth with from four to six (one at the shoulder
