with Descriptions of some New Species. 395 



ture of the head is precisely as in H. trigeminum above de- 

 scribed, except that the impression on the clypeus is inter- 

 rupted posteriorly by the anterior extremity of a raised gla- 

 brous elevation, which occurs between the two deep longitu- 

 dinal furrows. The prothorax is precisely as in that species. 

 Each elytron has two furrows; the first originates by the side of 

 the scutellum and terminates in the apical angle ; the second 

 originates dorsally near the shoulder and ceases considerably 

 before the apical angle ; at the base of the elytra, equidistant 

 from these striae, is a deep puncture. 



Inhabits the island of Java. I am indebted to the Rev. F. W. 

 Hope and Mr. Shuckard, who possess the only examples I have 

 seen, for the opportunity of describing this species. 



Sp. 7. Hect. gemelliparum. Nigra, nitida, abdomine pedibusque 

 piceis : prothoracis stria quatuor, duos distantes laterales indi- 

 stincta postice abbreviate, dua approximates discoidales profunda 

 brevissima, postica ; singuli elytri striae quatuor pariter dispo- 

 sita. (Corp. long. *6 unc. lat. *16 unc.) 



Black and shining, the abdomen and legs inclining to pitchy 

 red. The form linear and subcylindrical, the antennae moni- 

 liform, the sculpture of the head as in H. trigeminum. The 

 prothorax has a posterior and lateral marginal ridge, the pos- 

 terior part incrassated, reflexed, and notched in the middle ; 

 on each side it has dorsally an obvious but not deep furrow, 

 which reaches neither the anterior nor posterior margin : near 

 the posterior margin, but not adjoining it, rise two deep ab- 

 breviated furrows ; at the base they are nearly approximate, 

 but diverge anteriorly and cease abruptly at the centre of the 

 disk of the prothorax. Each elytron has four striae in pairs ; 

 the first of these extends from the side of the scutellum to the 

 apical angle ; the second, approximate to the first, is consider- 

 ably abbreviated at both extremities ; the third distant from 

 the second and equally abbreviated at both extremities ; the 

 fourth approximates to the third, which it surpasses at both 

 extremities, but reaches neither the base nor apex of the 

 elytron. 



Inhabits Senegal. A single specimen above described is in the 

 cabinet of the Rev. F. W. Hope ; a second in that of Mr. Westwood, 

 both obligingly lent me for description.
