Brazilian form. The present species is nearly allied to 

 the Central -American S. variabilis, Champ., which has 

 ciliate anterior femora in both sexes.

(J. Elongate, narrow, shining; castancous, the elytra transhicent 

 metallic green, except along the suture posteriorly. Head clpsely, 

 rather coarsely punctate, the eyes large and somewhat narrowly 

 separated; anteimae with joint 11 nearly equalling 4-10 united. 

 Prothorax considerably longer than broad, oblongo-cordate, the 

 basal margin raised; closely, conspicuously punctate. Elytra 

 moderately long, narrowing from the middle, the oblong intra- 

 humeral depression shallow; closely, rather finely puncta to -striate, 

 the sutural stria deeply impressed posteriorly, the interstices flat, 

 3 Avith five widely separated deep setigerous impressions scattered 

 between the base and apex, 9 also with two smaller impressions 

 towards the tip. Femora sparsely ciliate, the anterior pair clavate. 



Length 7j, breadth 2j mm. 



Hah. Colombia, Carthaaena {ex coll. F. Bates). 



One male, from the Dejean collection, and included 

 by him under S. viridipennis. Extremely like S. gratiosa, 

 but with the elytra translucent metallic green (except along 

 a common elongate space on the disc posteriorly), more 

 coarsely punctato-striate, and with the similarly-placed 

 setigerous impressions deeper and less extended laterally ; 

 the prothorax longer, and less rounded at the sides ; and 

 the head a little more sparsely punctured ; the eleventh 

 antennal joint slightly shorter. S. terminalis, Makl., 

 must be similarly coloured. 



56. Statira translucida, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, widened posteriorly, shining ; rufo-testaceous, 

 the eyes black, the palpi sometimes more or less infuscate, the elytra 

 (the epipleura excepted) suffused with green or golden-green, the 

 latter with a few long, erect, bristly hairs. Head spai-sely, minutely 

 punctate, obsoletely foveate in the middle between the eyes, the 

 latter distant, moderately large; antennae rather slender, joint 11 

 in cj nearly as long as 8-10 united, in $ a little shorter. Prothorax 

 almost or quite as wide as the head, about as broad as long, cordate, 

 strongly constricted before the prominent hind angles, the basal
