Hah. St. Vincent — Leeward and Windward sides ; 

 Grenada — Mount Gay and Vendome Estates, on the 

 Leeward side, Balthazar, on the Windward side; Grena- 

 dines — Mustique I. 



Numerous specimens of the dark form from Grenada 

 and Mustique; two of the pale variety from St. Vincent. 

 A-llied to 8. asperata, Champ., from the Isthmus of 

 Panama ; but with a shorter apical joint to the antennas 

 in the male, the femora with their basal half pale, and 

 the elytra more deeply punctate-striate, the setiferous 

 impressions not preceded by a tubercle. The setiferous 

 punctures vary in number and position. S./nlva, Fleut. 

 and Salle, from Guadeloupe I., has ungrooved tibiae, and 

 also differs in other respects from the present insect. 

 Beaten from vines, herbage, etc. ; also attracted to 

 "light'' (Smith). 



Statira vittata, n. sp. (Plate I., fig. 9, $ ) 



Moderately elongate, faintly shining ; testaceous, the eyes and 

 the elytra black, the latter each with a very broad, slightly oblique, 

 flavo-testaceous stripe on the disc— extending from the base to near 

 the apex, and nearly or quite reaching the suture behind. Head 

 almost smooth ; the eyes large, coarsely granulated, separated by a 

 space nearly equalling the width of one of the eyes as seen from 

 above ; antennae moderately long in the male, a little shorter iu 

 the female, the apical joint in both sexes slightly longer than 9 and 

 10 united. Pro thorax a little wider than the head, as broad as 

 long, rounded at the sides, sharply margined at the base, and with 

 acute hind angles ; the surface with a few scattered very minute 

 punctures. Elytra moderately elongate, rapidly narrowing from a 

 little beyond the middle ; finely punctate-striate, the punctures 

 closely placed ; the interstices rather convex, the third with about 

 eight, the fifth with three or four, the seventh with one (at the 

 shoulder), and the ninth with three or four (towards the apex), 

 petiferous punctures. Length 6|-8:[, breadth 2-2i mm. ( ^ $ .)
