50 HETEROMERA. 
middle, finely and closely punctate-striate throughout, the interstices flat towards the base but feebly — 
convex towards the apex, each with a row of closely placed coarse setiferous punctures (the sete very 
long) extending from the base to the apex, the apices obtuse ; beneath piceous-brown, shining, the ventral 
segments on each side and the metasternum with numerous setiferous punctures; legs ferruginous or 
testaceous, the femora and tibis roughly and rather closely punctured and clothed on all sides with short 
hairs, the tibie on their outer edge deeply sulcate from the base to the apex. 
Length 9-10 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 23-3 millim. (d.-) 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca (Sal/é). 
Two male examples. In having all the elytral interstices from the base to the 
apex furnished with closely placed setiferous punctures, S. multipunctata approaches 
S. cribrata; but there the comparison ends, the two species not being otherwise closely 
related. WS. multipunctata is distinguished from the allied forms by the above-men- 
tioned character, and also by its scabrous head and thorax, the latter with very acute 
hind angles, hairy and roughly punctured legs, very deeply suleate tibie, and opaque 
reddish-brown colour. 
75. Statira hirsuta. (Tab. III. fig. 6, 3.) 
Moderately elongate, rather depressed, clothed with very long erect hairs, opaque, reddish-brown or reddish- 
testaceous, sometimes suffused (the elytra especially) with piceous, the elytra not quite so dull. Head 
(including the epistoma) scabrous, the eyes rather small; antenne more or less ferruginous, rather long 
and stout—the apical joint in the male a little longer, in the female rather less, than joints 8-10 united ; 
prothorax broader than long, sometimes a little longer, flattened on the disc, the sides feebly margined, 
strongly rounded anteriorly, and deeply constricted be lind, the hind angles very acute, the basal margin 
moderately raised and at the sides deeply grooved jwithin, the surface densely scabrous; elytra with 
shallow intrahumeral depression, moderately long, widest beyond the middle, very finely and shallowly 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex behind and flat towards the base, the alternate ones (1, 3, 
5, 7, 9) each with a row of closely placed shallow setiferous punctures (the sete very long) extending from 
the base to the apex, the apices obtuse; beneath reddish-brown or reddish-testaceous, very shining; legs 
moderately stout, varying in colour from piceo-testaceous to testaceous, the apical half of the femora often 
darker, the femora and tibie roughly punctured and clothed on all sides with long suberect hairs, the 
tibize sulcate on their outer edge from the base to the apex. 
Length 7-93 millim.; breadth (at shoulders) 2-2$ millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (coll. F. Bates), Jalapa, Iguala in Guerrero, Tapachula in Chiapas 
(Hoge); Nicaraava, Chontales (Belt). 
Found in plenty by Herr Hoge at Jalapa. A moderately elongate, hirsute, dull 
reddish-brown or reddish-testaceous species, with the head and thorax scabrous, the 
latter much rounded at the sides anteriorly and rather depressed on the disc, the elytra 
very shallowly and finely punctate-striate and with the alternate interstices furnished 
with numerous setiferous impressions, the legs rough and setose, and the tibie sulcate 
on their outer edge. 8. hirsuta is less elongate than S. multipunctata, and has a 
shorter thorax and the alternate interstices only of the elytra furnished with setiferous 
impressions; from §. swlcicrus it may be distinguished by its rougher, shorter, and 
more depressed thorax, more finely and shallowly punctured elytral striz, less setose 
body, and less elongate shape.
