New and little-hnown Lagriidae. 227 



feebly constricted towards the base, the basal margin not raised : 

 densely scabroso-punctulate. Elytra long, at the base twice as wide 

 as the prothorax, widening to the middle, somewhat acuminate 

 posteriorly; closely, finely, shallowly punctato-striate, the inter- 

 stices flat throughout, 3 with four small setigerous impressions scat- 

 ■ tered along the apical half, 5 also with two other impressions, and 

 7 with one, towards the tip. Legs slender. 

 Length 7|, breadth 2| mm. 



Hab. Brazil, Kio de Janeiro (Fry). 



One specimen. A small pallid insect, not unlike the 

 Colombian S. lateralis, Makl., and the Brazilian S. suffusa; 

 but with a dull, scabrous head and prothorax, shining, 

 aeneo-marginate elytra, the latter with the interstices flat 

 throughout. 



74. Statira trachydera, n. sp. 



Very elongate, narrow, feebly shining ; piceous, the front of the 

 head, elytral suture, tarsi, bases of femora, and under surface cas- 

 taneous or ferruginous; the elytra with scattered bristly hairs. 

 Head rather small, closely, coarsely punctate, longitudinally im- 

 pressed between the eyes, the latter large, narrowly separated; 

 antennae moderately thickened, rather long, joint 11 equalling 8-10 

 united. Prothorax a little wider than the head, longer than broad, 

 rounded at the sides, constricted before the raised basal margin; 

 coarsely, irregularly, confluently punctate. Elytra very elongate, at 

 the middle about twice as wide as the prothorax, somewhat acumin- 

 ate posteriorly; closely, finely, deeply punctato-striate, the inter- 

 stices convex, flatter on the disc, 3 and 5 with a series of small 

 setigerous impressions scattered throughout their length, 9 also with 

 three impressions near the apex, and 1 with several others near the 

 base. Tibiae pilose within. 



Length 11, breadth 3i mm. (? ?) 



Hab. Brazil, Jatahy, Prov. of Goyas {Pujol, ex coll. 

 F. Bates). 



One specimen. This insect is of about the same size 

 and build as S. jjurjmreipennis, Pic, from the same locality, 

 differing from it in the small, closely punctured, subsulcate 

 head, the coarsely, confluently punctate prothorax, and the 

 non-tuberculate elytra, the elytra with fewer, differently- 

 arranged setigerous impressions, those on the interstices 

 1 and 7 mostly wanting.
