New and little-known Lagriidae. 245 



One male, sufficiently different from S. calophaenoides 

 to require a distinctive specific or varietal name. 



102. Statira seminigra, n. sp. (Plate XIII, fig. 25.) 



Elongate, narrow, shining; rufo-testaceous, the eyes and the 

 apical lialf of the elytra black; the elytra with a few, long, erect, 

 bristly hairs. Head almost smooth, shallowly foveate in the middle 

 between the eyes, the latter large and moderately distant ; antennae 

 long and slender, joint 11 as long as 8-10 united. Prothorax as 

 wide as the head, not longer than broad, cordate, deeply constricted 

 before the base, the basal margin much raised and laterally project- 

 ing; almost smooth, obsoletely canaliculate at the apex. Elytra 

 long, subparallel in their basal half ; closely, finely punctato-striate, 

 the interstice 3 with six, and 5 and 9 each with three or four, widely 

 scattered setigerous impressions, 1 also with two impressions at the

Length 7|, breadth 2f mm. {? ?) 



Hab. Upper Amazons, San Paulo [de Olivenca] {H. W. 

 Bates). 



One specimen. Differs from the allied S. calophaenoides 

 in having the apical half only of the elytra black, and the 

 head and prothorax shorter and broader, the latter almost 

 smooth, the elytra with scattered setigerous impressions on 

 the interstices 3, 5, and 9. 



103. Statira triseilata, n. sp. (Plate XIII, fig. 26, (^.) 



(j*. Very elongate, shining; rufo-testaceous, the eyes and three 

 oblique, angulate fasciae on the elytra (one before and one just 

 beyond tlie middle, neither reaching the suture, and one, narrower, 

 subapical, the last-named continued down the first interstice and 

 outer margin to near the tip) black; the elytra with a few, long, 

 erect, bristly hairs. Head almost smooth, longitudinally grooved 

 between the eyes, the latter large, moderately distant; antennae 

 slender, long, joints 8-10 decreasing in length, 11 extremely elongate, 

 as long as 6-10 united. Prothorax as wide as the head, a little 

 broader than long, subcordate, dilated at the base; sparsely, finely 

 punctate at the base and with two deep widely separated foveae on the 

 disc posteriorly. Elytra somewhat convex, very elongate, twice as 

 broad as the prothorax, gradually widened to the middle, acuminate 

 at the tip ; closely, finely crenato-striate from base to apex, the 

 interstices convex, 3, 5, and 7 with scattered setigerous impressions
