 penis-sheath, ^.) 



$, Statira cMenata, Makl., Act. Soc. Fenn. vii, p. 148 (1862). 

 (^. Statira plitmicornis, Deyr. in litt. 



(^. Antennae thickened, joint 1 very stout, 2 quite short, 8-10 

 rapidly decreasing in length, 9 and 10 dentate at the inner apical 

 angle, 11 very elongate, equalling 7-10 united, 3-10 wth a dense 

 fringe of long hairs within; anterior femora strongly incrassate, 

 ciliate at the base beneath; anterior tibiae broadly, angularly 

 explanate towards the apex within; intermediate femora ciliate 

 beneath; intermediate tibiae hollowed along their inner face; 

 posterior femora very stout, curved, excavate and densely ciliate 

 beneath, angularly dilated before the apex ; posterior tibiae sinuously 

 bowed, broadly widened in their outer half, excavate and pubescent 

 within, and furnished with a dense brush of very long hairs at about 

 the middle of their upper inner edge; metasternum and abdomen 

 thickly clothed with long hairs down the middle; penis-sheath^" 

 stout, asymmetric, broadly, obliquely, subangularly dilated at the 

 apex, serrulate along the upper edge. 



$. Antennae, slender, simple, joint 11 nearly or quite equalling 

 8-10 united.

Nine specimens seen, including three males. The extra- 

 ordinary combination of characters in the structure or 

 clothing of the legs, antennae and ventral surface in this 

 sex makes S. catenata easily recognisable, at least in the 

 (J; the $, however, is very like that of S. geniculata, Makl., 

 diiSering from it in having the alternate elytral interstices 

 a little broader, 5 and 7 with more numerous setigerous 

 impressions. The amomit of catenulation of these inter- 

 stices is somewhat variable in both insects. 



20. Statira viridipennis. (Plate XII, figs. 10, 10a, 

 aedeagus, ■^.) 



Statira viridipennis, Lep. et Serv., Encycl. Meth., Ins. x, 

 p. 480 (1827) ; Makl., Act. Soc. Fenn. vii, p. 149 (1862).
