and puncturing of the prothorax, and in the number of 

 tubercles and setigerous impressions on the elytra, the 

 latter being always large and deep. The apices of the 

 elytra are pointed or submucronate. The frontal fovea is 

 also deep. The sexual characters were not mentioned 

 by the author. 



16. Statira sanctaremae, n. sp. 



Very elongate, narrow, shining; piceous, the elytra greenish- 

 aeneous, the antennae in their outer half and the legs rufo -testaceous 

 or ferruginous, the knees slightly infuscate. Head rather small, 

 sparsely, finely punctate, unimpressed between the eyes, the latter 

 large, narrowly separated ; antennae moderately long, rather slender, 

 pilose, joint 11 equalling 8-10 united. Prothorax longer than 

 broad, a little wider than the head, feebly rounded at the sides, and 

 constricted before the raised, laterally-projecting basal margin; 

 closely, finely, conspicuously punctate, the disc transversely im- 

 pressed on each side before and behind the middle. Elytra very 

 long, twice as wide as the prothorax, somewhat rounded at the sides, 

 gradually widening to the middle, without mucro at the tip ; closely, 

 finely punctato-striate, the interstices feebly convex, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 

 9 each with a series of rather small, deep, setigerous impressions 

 extending throughout their length (closely placed on 3 and 5, and 

 scattered on 1, 7, and 9), the spaces between them longitudinally 

 raised or tuberculate, the tubercles elongate on 7 and 9. Tibiae 

 pilose within. 



Length 11^, breadth 3^ mm. (? ?) 



Hab. Amazons, Santarem {H. W. Bafes). 



One specimen, now wanting the elytral setae. Smaller 

 and less elongate than S. verrucosa, the head narrow, the 

 prothorax not excavate in front, the elytra narrower, with 

 smaller elevations on the alternate interstices, the striae 

 straighter, and the apices unarmed.

1^. Lower svirface of the anterior femora at the base, and that of 

 the other femora to near the apex, and a broad space down the 

 middle of the metastemum and abdomen, thickly clothed with 

 long, fine, projecting or semi-erect, hairs; antennae closely pilose.
