196 Mr. G. C. Champion on 



Hah. Brazil {ex coll. Dejean), Rio de Janeiro {Fry). 

 Bahia {Reed), Corcovado {G. E. Bryant). 



Seven examples seen, the one from the Dejean collection 

 being labelled with the MS. name S. morhillosa. Compared 

 with the variable S. geniculafa, it is a little smaller and less 

 elongate, the setigerous impressions and tubercles on the 

 elytral interstices 3, 5, 7 and 9 are reduced in number 

 (especially on 7) ; and in the (^ the abdomen is glabrous 

 down the middle, the legs are simple, and the penis-sheath 

 of a totally different shape. Maklin does not mention the 

 longitudinal inter-ocular groove (also present in his S. rufi- 

 frons), and the identification of the insect before me with 

 his species is not certain. 



30. Statira formosa, n. sp. 



cj. Very elongate, rather narrow, shining; piceous, the elytra 

 brilliant golden-green, cupreovis along the apical margin and on the 

 humeral callus ; the elytra with numerous, and the head and abdo- 

 men with a few, long, fine, erect bristly hairs. Head rather narrow, 

 not wider than the prothorax, with a few minute scattered punctures, 

 the eyes very large, somewhat narrowly separated ; antennae long, 

 slender, joint 11 very elongate, equalling 6-10 united. Prothorax 

 narrow, considerably longer than broad, the sides obliquely converg- 

 ing from the middle forward and sinuately compressed before the 

 base, the basal margin raised ; sparsely, minutely punctate, the disc 

 with a posteriorly widened, interrupted, rather broad median channel, 

 and an oblique curved depression on each side of the disc, the trans- 

 verse basal sulcus not extending across the middle. Elytra very 

 elongate, subparallel, rather more than twice the width of the pro- 

 thorax, flattened on the disc, and with an oblong, deep, intra-humeral 

 depression; closely, finely, sinuately striato -punctate, the interstices 

 flat, 1, 3, 5, and 7 with numerous small setigerous impressions scat- 

 tered throughout their length, 9 also with several rather large im- 

 pressions along the apical half, those towards the apex on 7 and 9 

 each preceded by a tubercle or short carina. Legs very long, slender. 



Length 12|^, breadth 3| mm. 



Hab. Ecuador {Buckley). 



One male. An Agraeform insect allied to the Colombian 

 *S. stemheili, Makl., with brilliant golden-green elytra, the 

 alternate interstices of which have numerous small setiger- 

 ous impressions scattered throughout their length, the 

 seventh and ninth catenulate towards the tip.
