between the base and apex, 9 also with three impressions towards the 

 tip. Legs very long and slender, the femora moderately thickened. 

 Length 12, breadth 3 J mm. 



Hab. Colombia (ex coll. F. Bates). 



One female. An insect with brilliantly metallic elytra, 

 as in S. siimtuosa, Miikl., and other allied Colombiaii and 

 Ecuador forms, the head and prothorax relatively short, 

 the elytra very long, posteriorly acuminate, and mucronate 

 at the tip, the antennae and legs as slender as in Othryades 

 jragilicornis, Champ., from Panama. The last-named 

 species has the mandibles tridentate at the tip. which is 

 apparently not the case in the present insect, so far as can 

 be ascertained without opening them. S. anguslata, Pic, 

 from Ecuador, must have equally slender antennae. 



38. Statira aegrota.

(J. Antennae simple, joint 11 about equalling 7-10 (in $ 8-10) 

 united; anterior femora stout; intermediate femora gradually 

 thickened to beyond the middle and slightly hollowed thence to 

 the apex. 



Hab. Brazil [Mus. Oxen.), Rio de Janeiro {Fry), Espirito 

 Santo {Schmidt). 



Four specimens before me are probably referable to this 

 species. They differ from Maklin's description in having 

 the small roimded tubercles preceding the setigerous im- 

 pressions placed on the alternate interstices 1, 3, 5, and 9, 

 instead of on 1, 3, 5, and 7, as stated. The tubercles are 

 distributed along the whole length of the three dorsal 

 interstices mentioned, varying greatly in number, but on 

 the ninth they are reduced to a short series near the apex. 

 An elongate reddish insect, with the elytra translucent green 

 or bluish-green, the prothorax sometimes infuscate ; the 

 head broad, almost smooth, unimpressed between the eyes, 

 the latter large and somewhat distant; the antennae 

 slender; the prothorax cordate (?) or oblongo-cordate (c^), 

 densely punctulate, with very prominent basal margin ; the 

 elytra finely punctato-striate, the interstices (except just 

 in front of the setigerous impressions) almost flat ; the 

 femora and tibiae simple in ^. S. rubrifhorax, Pic,i"^ from 

 San Antonio da Barra, Brazil, seems to be an allied form
