few, erect, bristly hairs. Head almost smooth, excavate or 

 foveate in the middle between the eyes, the latter moderately 

 large and separated by about the width of one of them ; antennae 

 rather slender, moderately long, a little shorter in $, joint 11 as 

 long as 9 and 10 united. Pro thorax as wide as the head, as 

 long as broad, oblong-cordate, dilated at the base, very sparsely, 

 minutely punctulate. Elytra moderately long, broad, twice as wide 

 as the prothorax at the base, flattened on the disc anteriorly, 

 slightly widening to the middle and acuminate posteriorly, the apices 

 distinctly mucronate; closely, finely punctato-striate, the inter- 

 stices becoming feebly convex towards the apex, 3 and 5 each with 

 about five very widely scattered setigerous impressions, 9 also with 

 two or three similar impressions towards the tip. Femora more or 

 less clavate. 



Var. The elytra uniformly castaneous, the setigerous impressions 

 wanting on the basal half of the third interstice. {^.) 



Length 8|-9|, breadth 2|-2f mm. 



Hab. Brazil, Rio de Janeiro (Fry), Constancia (J. Gray 

 and //. Clark, Jan. 1857). 



Two specimens of the hneate form, assumed to be (^ and 

 5, one of them having longer antennae than the other, 

 and one of the variety. More elongate than S. presiituralis, 

 Pic, the head and prothorax a little broader, the elytra 

 longer, more acuminate at the tip, and with the alternate 

 interstices nigro-lineate to near the apex.

Stalira trilineata, Maid., Ofv. Finska Vet.-Soc. Forh. xx, 

 p. 357 (1878). 



(J. Antennae rather short and stout, joints 4-10 decreasing in 

 length, 9 and 10 transverse, 11 very elongate, as long as 6-10 united ; 

 head deeply foveate in the middle between the eyes ; the elytra with 

 an elongate intra-humeral depression, the scattered setigerous im- 

 pressions along the entire length of the alternate interstices 1, 3, 5, 

 7, and 9 each preceded by a small tubercle; femora more or less 

 clavate. 



Hah. Colombia {Mus. Ilelsingfors : type ; Mus. Brit.). 



A male in the British Museum, from the F. Bates col- 

 lection, is almost certainly referable to this species. It 

 differs from the description in having the numerous setiger- 

 ous impressions along the alternate elytral interstices 

 deeply impressed and each preceded by a small, tumid,
