Brazilian form. The present species is nearly allied to 

 the Central-American *S. variability. Champ., which has 

 ciliate anterior femora in })()th sexes. 



55. Statira dejeani, n. sp. 



Statyra vindipennis, Dej. Cat., 3rd edit., p. 236 (1837) 

 {nee Serv.). 



Q. Elongate, narrow, shining; castancous, the elytra translucent 

 metallic green, except along the suture posteriorly. Head closely, 

 rather coarsely punctate, the eyes large and somewhat narrowly 

 separated; antennae with joint 11 nearly equalling 4-10 united. 

 Prothorax considerably longer than broad, oblongo -cordate, the 

 basal margin raised; closely, conspicuouslj' punctate. Elytra 

 moderately long, narrowing from the middle, the oblong intra- 

 humeral depression shallow ; closely, rather finely punctato-striate, 

 the sutural stria deeply impressed posteriorly, the interstices flat, 

 3 with five widely separated deep setigerous impressions scattered 

 between the base and apex, 9 also with two smaller impressions 

 towards the tip. Femora sparsely ciliate, the anterior pair clavate. 



Length 7 J, breadth 2^ mm. 



Hab. Colombia, Carthagena {ex coll. F. Bates). 



One male, from the Dejean collection, and included 

 by him under *S. viridipennis. Extremely like S. gratiosa, 

 but with the elytra translucent metallic green (except along 

 a common elongate space on the disc posteriorly), more 

 coarsely punctato-striate, and with the similarly-placed 

 setigerous impressions deeper and less extended laterally ; 

 the prothorax longer, and less rounded at the sides ; and 

 the head a little more sparsely punctured ; the eleventh 

 antennal joint slightly shorter. S. terminalis, Makl., 

 must be similarly coloured. 



56. Statira translucida, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, widened posteriorly, shining ; rufo-testaceous, 

 the eyes black, the palpi sometimes more or less infuscate, the elytra 

 (the epipleura excepted) suffused with green or golden-green, the 

 latter with a few long, erect, bristly hairs. Head sparsely, minutely 

 punctate, obsoletely foveate in the middle between the eyes, the 

 latter distant, moderately large; anteimae rather slender, joint 11 

 in cj nearly as long as 8-10 united, in ? a little shorter. Prothorax 

 almost or quite as wide as the head, about as broad as long, cordate, 

 strongly constricted before the prominent hind angles, the basal
