H, lacordairei and H. nitidus by the much smaller and scantier granulations of the 
base of the elytra, the granule being few and replaced at a very short distance from 
the base by punctures. The ragged edges of all the cretaceous spots, and the punctured 
breast and abdomen, are peculiar to the species.

This largest and finest species of Hammoderus is dedicated to its discoverer Mr. F. 
Sarg. The cretaceous spots of the elytra are more transverse than in the other species; 
the base for some distance is quite free, but the other larger spots lie in the position 
usual in the genus, viz. two lateral (one before and the other after the middle), and one 
rounded on the disc near the apex; a rounded spot near the suture and the base 
(existing in several other species) is also well developed, but between the two large 
lateral spots, and nearly in the middle of the elytra, there is a large irregular patch 
formed apparently of the agglomeration of many of the small transverse wavy streaks, 
of which there are a great number, on the disc and near the suture. 
Hammoderus imperator (p. 102). 
Specimens of this species in the Sallé collection are labelled as from Izucar and 
Puebla.
