236 Mr. G. C. Champion on 



Head rather large, sparsely, shallowly subfoveolate between the 

 eyes, the latter large and somewhat distant; antennae slender, 

 joints 8-10 decreasing in length, 11 as long as 7-10 united. 

 Prothorax narrower than the head, about as long as broad, 

 oblongo-cordate, strongly constricted before the base; sparsely, 

 minutely punctate, obsoletely canaliculate at the middle of the disc, 

 and with a large, subtriangular, rugose, depressed area on each side 

 (fig. 20). Elytra moderately long, at the middle about twice as wide 

 as the prothorax, rounded at the apex, longitudinally depressed 

 within the humeri ; very finely, closely punctato-striate, the third 

 interstice with six widely scattered setigerous impressions, the 

 ninth also with two others near the tip. Legs long; anterior 

 tibiae rounded externally at the base. 

 Length 1^, breadth 2^ mm. 



Hub. Peru, Chanchamayo {ex coll. F. Bates). 



One male, probably collected by Thamm. Very like 

 the Brazilian S. elegans, Makl., and similarly coloured; but 

 with the prothorax more shining, distinctly punctured, 

 and with a large, subtriangular, rugose, depressed area on 

 each side of the disc (somewhat as in the Central American 

 S. foveicollis, Champ., ^, and possibly confined to that sex), 

 the posterior femora and tibiae partly infuscate, the anterior 

 tibiae not compressed at the base. 



89. Statira cyanoptera, n. sp. 



(^. Elongate, narrow, depressed, slender, opaque, the elytra and 

 the front of the head somewhat shining ; black, the elytra cyaneous, 

 the palpi at the base, joints 4-11 of the antennae, the tarsi, and in 

 one specimen the legs entirely, testaceous ; the elytra with a few 

 long, erect, bristly hairs. Head rather narrow, sparsely, finely 

 punctate, shallowly sulcate between the eyes, the latter large, 

 separated by about half the width of one of them ; antennae long, 

 slender, joint 11 extremely elongate, equalling 6-10 united. Pro- 

 thorax nearly as wide as the head, much longer than broad, oblongo- 

 cordate, feebly dilated at the base, smooth, the basal margin not 

 raised. Elytra moderately elongate, twice as broad as the pro- 

 thorax, somewhat acuminate posteriorly; closely, finely punctato- 

 striate, the punctures transverse on the disc, the interstices feebly 

 convex, 3 with five or six, and 5 with three, widely scattered setiger- 

 ous impressions, 1 and 9 also with one or two near or before the tip. 

 Legs long and slender.
