New and little-hnown Lagriidae. 217 



punctate, the eyes large, somewhat distant; antennae long, slender, 

 joint 11 as long as 7-10 united. Prothorax rather broad, about as 

 long as wide, rounded at the sides, constricted before the prominent 

 laterally-projecting basal margin; closely, minutely punctate. 

 Elytra long, broad, slightly widening to the middle, about twice as 

 wide as the prothorax, somewhat acuminate at the tip; closely, 

 finely punctato-striate, the interstices flat, 3 with four or five deep 

 setigerous impressions scattered along the apical half, and 5 and 9 

 also with t\\o or three others towards the tip, 3 and 5 subcatenulate 

 posteriorly. Anterior femora clavate, bare. 

 Length 9|, breadth 3 mm. (cj ?) 



Hab. Colombia {Mm. Brit., ex coll. F. Bates). 



One specimen, from an old French collection. Not unlike 

 the Brazilian S. rufa and S. niffrons, Makl., the elytra 

 bluish on the disc, the setigerous impressions fewer in 

 number (wanting on the seventh interstice), the head not 

 sulcate as in S. rufifrons, the head and prothorax formed 

 much as in S. laticollis. The Mexican S. caeruleipennis, 

 Champ., is somewhat similarly coloured. 



60. Statira puncticoUis, n. sp. 



Moderately elongate, shining; reddish-brown, the femora paler 

 at the base, the eyes black; the elytra with a faint metallic lustre, 

 and bearing a few bristly hairs. Head broad, sparsely, minutely 

 punctate, with a shallow fovea between the eyes, an oblong depres- 

 sion in front of this, and a deep fovea (^accidental) on the epistoma, 

 the eyes very lai'ge, narrowly separated; antennae moderately 

 long, rather stout, joint 11 nearly equalling 7-10 united. Prothorax 

 as wide as the head, not longer than broad, subquadrate, strongly 

 constricted before the base, the basal margin raised ; closely, very 

 finely punctate, the interspaces polished. Elytra moderately long, 

 at the middle twice as wide as the prothorax, somewhat acuminate 

 posteriorly; closely, finely punctato-striate, the striae deeply im- 

 pressed at the apex, the interstices flat on the disc, 3 and 5 with 

 from six to eight small setigerous impressions scattered throughout 

 their length, 9 also with two others near the tip. 



Length 7J, breadth 2| mm. ($?) 



Hab. Amazons {H. W. Bates). 



One specimen, exact locality not given on the label. 

 Near the variable S. multiformis, Champ., from Central 

 America, S. insidaris (No. 77), from Trinidad, and S. 

 caeruleotincta, from Colombia, differing from all of them in
