New and little-known Lagriidae. 229 



Hab. Brazil, Bahia {Reed). 



One female. Not unlike S. scabricollis ($), from Ega, 

 but in great part testaceous and more shining, the eyes 

 smaller and more distant, the antennae shorter, the pro- 

 thorax almost smooth, the tibiae and the basal halves of 

 the femora black. S. melanocephala, Makl., from Central 

 America, is a somewhat similar insect, except that it has 

 the head and antennae infuscate or black. 



77. Statira insularis, n. sp. 



Elongate, the head and prothorax subopaque, the elytra shining ; 

 testaceous, the head and prothorax obscure ferruginous, the eyes 

 black ; the elytra with a few long, bristly hairs. Head rather small, 

 closely, minutely punctate, longitudinally depressed down the middle 

 between the eyes, the latter extremely large and narrowly separated 

 in the two sexes; antennae long and slender, shorter in $, joint 11 

 in (^ as long as 6-10, in $ the length of 8-10, united. Prothorax as 

 wide as (c^) or rather wider than ($) the head, about as broad as long, 

 feebly rounded at the sides, strongly constricted before the base, 

 the basal margin prominent and laterally projecting; alutaceous 

 and closely, very minutely punctate. Elytra long, at the middle 

 twice as broad as the prothorax, somewhat rapidly widened in their 

 basal half, and acuminate posteriorly ; closely, finel3^ deeply punc- 

 tato-striate, the interstices becoming convex towards the sides 

 and apex, 3, 5, and 9 each with from three to six widely scattered 

 setigerous impressions. 



Length 8-8|, breadth 2A-2| mm. {^^.) 



Hab. Trinidad {G. E. Bryant, m. 1903; F. Birch, 1904). 



Three males and one female. Very like the Antillean 

 S. fulva, but with a long apical joint to the antennae, espe- 

 cially in (^, a comparatively small head, extremely large, 

 subapproximate eyes, and rather convex, mesially widened, 

 posteriorly acuminate elytra. S. tolensis, Champ., from 

 Panama, is not unhke S. insularis, but the latter has the 

 elytra less elongate, etc. Mr, Bryant's specimens have 

 been examined by M. Pic and returned unnamed.
