New and little-knoivn Lagriidae. 247 



Five specimen — three fasciate, two immaculate. A 

 form of the Central American S. picta, Champ., with the 

 apical joint of the antennae shorter in both sexes (in S. 

 picta, ^, equalling 7-10 united), the head with a deeper 

 longitudinal groove between the eyes, and the elytral 

 markings, when present, showing a tendency to extend 

 forward along the suture to the scutellar region (instead of 

 along the outer margin to the humeri, as in S. picta), the 

 scattered setigerous impressions along the third interstice 

 very conspicuous. 



105. Statira circumducta, n. sp. 



1^. Moderately elongate, depressed, shining; rufo -testaceous, 

 the eyes black, the elytra with the suture narrowly, and a common, 

 transverse, curved median fascia, which is continued forwards along 

 the outer part of the disc to the base, nigro-fuscous ; the elytra with 

 a few long erect setae. Head broad, sparsely, minutely punctate, 

 grooved down the middle between the eyes, the latter large and 

 separated by about the width of one of them ; antennae moderately 

 long, rather slender, joint 11 slightly longer than 8-10 united. Pro- 

 thorax narrower than the head, about as long as broad, subcordate, 

 dilated at the base; almost smooth, faintly canaliculate down the 

 middle anteriorly. Elytra twice as broad as the prothorax, moder- 

 ately long, gradually widened to the middle, obliquely depressed 

 below the base ; closely, finely punctato-striate, the interstices 3, 5 

 and 9 each with about six widely separated setigerous impressions, 

 and 1 and 7 with one or two similar impressions near the apex. 



Length 8, breadth 2| mm. 



Hab. Ecuador {Buckley). 

 F One male. Very like S. vageguttata, Pic, and its allies, 

 but wanting the deep lanciform sulcus on the front of the 

 prothorax, the dark markings on the anterior half of the 

 elytra partly enclosing a broad, elongate, subquadrate 

 patch of the testaceous ground-colour on the disc of each 

 of them. 



106. Statira subfenestrata, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, narrow, shining, testaceous ; the eyes 

 black, the elytra with a broad basal and a narrow median fascia, 

 connected along the suture and approaching one another at the sides, 

 nigro-piceous ; the elytra with a few long, erect, bristly hairs. Head 

 large, broad, obliquely narrowed and well developed behind the 

 eyes, sparsely, obsoletely punctate, the eyes small, widely sepaiatcd ;
