52 HETEROMERA. 
closely-placed setiferous impressions. S. pluripunctata, Horn, from Arizona, appears 
to be allied to this species; but, unlike any of the Mexican Statire with grooved tibiz, 
it is stated to have the sides of the thorax without a distinct edge even at the base. 
Four examples, two of each sex. 
78. Statira rugipes. 
Very elongate, depressed, picéous-black, opaque, the elytra not so dull. Head very irregularly and closely 
punctured, scabrous between the eyes, the latter large but rather widely separated ; antenne ( 9 ) ferru- 
ginous, rather short, moderately stout, the apical joint about as long as joints 8-10 united; prothorax as 
long as broad, the sides obsoletely margined throughout, moderately rounded anteriorly, and constricted 
behind, the hind angles rather sharp, the basal margin a little raised, the surface densely and finely 
scabrous; elytra with shallow intrahumeral depression, very long, finely punctate-striate throughout, the 
punctures transverse and approximate, the interstices rather convex, except on the basal part of the disc, 
and the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth each with a row of closely placed setiferous punctures 
extending from the base to the apex, the apices obtuse; beneath piceous-black, shining ; legs long, rather 
slender, piceous, the tarsi ferruginous; the femora and tibiee roughly punctured, the former on all sides 
thickly clothed with long, and the tibia within with shorter, decumbent hairs; the tibie deeply grooved 
on their outer edge from the base to the apex. 
Length 12% millim.; breadth 33 millim. (2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas in Durango (Hodge). 
One female example only. Larger and more elongate than S. sulcicrus, the elytra 
relatively much longer, the antenne considerably stouter than in the corresponding sex 
of that species, the thorax still more densely scabrous and very opaque, and the femora 
more roughly punctured. 
The narrowly ovate apical joint of the labial palpi and the much longer third joint 
of the antenne distinguish S. rugipes from either of the species of Hpicydes. 
79. Statira leptotracheloides. (Tab. III. fig. 8, 2 .) 
Elongate, narrow, subparallel, depressed, subopaque, obscure reddish-testaceous, the elytra testaceous and not 
so dull. Head scabrous between the eyes, the latter (9) black and quite small, the comparatively broad 
space behind them with fine scattered setiferous punctures ; antenne long, moderately slender, testaceous— 
the apical joint (@) not so long as joints 8-10 united, the latter elongate; prothorax narrow, subcylin- 
drical, longer than broad, the sides obsoletely margined at the base and apex, moderately rounded 
anteriorly, and not very strongly constricted behind, the hind angles acute, the basal margin moderately 
raised and scarcely grooved within, the surface very finely scabrous; scutellum finely punctured ; elytra 
with indistinct intrahumeral depression, long, flattened on the disc, closely, finely, and shallowly punctate- 
striate, the interstices flat, the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth each with a row of closely placed deep 
setiferous punctures, the apices a little produced but obtuse; beneath reddish-testaceous, slightly shining ; 
legs testaceous, moderately long, the femora and tibiw sparsely and roughly punctured and clothed on all 
sides with rather long decumbent hairs, the tibiz from the base to the apex grooved on their outer edge. 
Length 94 millim.; breadth 23 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Mzxico, Ventanas in Durango (fHége). 
An immature female example only. Closely allied to S. sulctcrus; but differing in
