91. Statira campanulata, n. sp. 



Elongate, narrow, dull; piceous, the antennae (joints 1 and 2 

 excepted) obscure ferruginous, the elytra with scattered long, erect, 

 black bristly hairs. Head large, broad, closely punctate, longitu- 

 dinally grooved between the eyes, the latter large and narrowly 

 separated; antennae short, rather slender, joint 11 about equalling 

 7-10 united. Prothorax narrower than the head, longer than 

 broad, campanulate, closely, somewhat coarsely punctate, the basal 

 margin very prominent. Elytra moderately long, about twice as 

 broad as the prothorax, subparallel at the base; closely, finely punc- 

 tato-striate, the interstices with numerous setigerous impressions, 

 each of them preceded by a small tubercle — three near the apex of 1, 

 ten scattered between the base and apex of 3, five or six on 5, and 

 eight on 9, those on 5 and 9 placed along the apical half. Legs 

 moderately slender, roughly punctured and setulose, the tibiae 

 shallowly sulcate externally. 



Length 8J, breadth 2|- mm. (cj ?) 



Hab. Upper Amazons, Ega {H. W. Bates). 



One badly preserved example. Larger than S. dromioides, 

 wholly piceous, the eyes more approximate, the apical 

 antennal joint shorter, the prothorax longer and more 

 coarsely punctate, the legs roughly pmictured. The seti- 

 gerous impressions on the elytra are similar in number and 

 position in the two insects. 



92. Statira dromioides, n. sp. 



(J. Elongate, narrow, depressed, moderately shining; testaceous, 

 the eyes black, the elytra piceous ; the head and elytra with a few 

 very long, erect, bristly hairs, one behind each eye being conspicu- 

 ous. Head large, broad, rather convex, sparsely punctate, longi- 

 tudinally grooved between the eyes, the latter very large, moderately 

 distant; antennae rather long, slender, joints 4-10 gradually de- 

 creasing in length, 11 extremely elongate, equalling six or seven of 

 the preceding joints united. Prothorax much narrower than the 

 head, a little longer than broad, oblong-campanulate, closely, con- 

 spicuously punctate, the interspaces alutaceous, the basal margin 

 sharply raised. Elytra moderately elongate, twice as broad as the 

 prothorax, not much wider at the middle than at the base, narrowly 

 rounded at the tip; very finely punctato -striate, the interstices 

 alutaceous, almost Hat, 3 with about 7 setigerous impressions scat- 

 tered between the base and apex, 5 and 9 also with four similar 

 impressions along their apical half, and 1 with two or three near the
