the apical joint of the antennae ((^) extremely elongate. 

 The anterior tibiae are compressed at the base much as 

 in S. elegans, Makl., but the species seems best placed next 

 S. viridifasciata. 



100. Statira calophaenoides, n. sp. 



Elongate, narrow, depressed, shining; testaceous, the eyes and 

 two broad straight fasciae on the elytra (one basal, the other post- 

 median) black; the elytra with scattered, long, erect, bristly hairs. 

 Head sparsely, minutely punctate, shallowly foveate between the 

 eyes, the latter large and not very widely separated ; antennae very 

 long and slender, joint 11 in cJ nearly equalling the preceding five, 

 and in $ a little longer than the preceding three, joints united. 

 Prothorax as wide as the head in $, slightly narrower in ^, longer 

 than broad, cordate, dilated at the base, sparsely, minutely punctate, 

 obsoletely canaliculate anteriorly. Elytra moderately long, at the 

 middle twice as broad as the prothorax, gradually widened in their 

 basal half, flattened on the disc, rounded at the apex; closely, 

 finely crenato-striate, the interstices feebly convex towards the tip, 

 1, 3 and 5 with scattered setigerous impressions throughout their 

 length, and 7 and 9 with three or four similar impressions on the 

 apical half. Legs long; anterior femora stout; anterior tibiae 

 rounded externally at the base. 



Length Si-OJ, breadth 2i-2|- mm. 



Hah. Peru [ex coll. F. Bates). 



Two examples, assumed to be sexes. This insect 

 superficially resembles a small Calophaena (a Tropical 

 American genus of Carabidae), some of the species of which 

 are similarly nigro-bifasciate. It is of about the same size 

 and shape as S. elegans, Makl., the latter having metallic 

 green elytra, etc. 



101. Statira segregata, n, sp. 



(^. Extremely like S. calophaenoides, and similarly coloured, 

 except that the transverse black basal fascia on the elytra is broader 

 than the submcdian one; antennae very long and slender, joint 11 

 nearly as long as 6-10 united; the prothorax more narrowed 

 anteriorly ; the setigerous impressions on the elytra fewer in number, 

 reduced to six along interstice 3, and two or three only towards 

 the apex of 1, 5, 7, and 9. 



Length 8J, breadth 2| mm.
