 Hah. — Queensland (?). 



If I am correct in my identification of this insect, its habitat 

 is Queensland ; I have specimens of what I take to be it, from 

 Rockhampton and Victoria River (Mitchell's Exp.).

Broadly ovate, black, nitid, glabrous. Head slightly rugose, 

 elongate, square in front, the clypeus convex and a little emar- 

 ginate in front, as well as the labrum. Antennaa as in H. Colossus. 

 Thorax somewhat granulosa, transverse and a little sinuate behind, 

 the sides rounded towards the base, and conspicuously narrowed and 

 emarginate in front ; the disk is very slightly convex and presents 

 many depressions and inequalities, on the base of the median line 

 a strong erect spine a little curved backwards ; the margins broad 

 particularly later-ally, turned up on the edge, the posterior angles 

 recurved, the anterior rounded and crossing. Elytra oval, nitid, 

 with a scarcely visible scattered granulation, the disk oval, convex, 

 a little prolonged backwards, the suture raised into a strong 

 carina ; on each elytron near the scutellum a very slightly promi- 

 nent and oblique costa not even reaching to the first third of the 

 elytra. The margins as large at the base as that of the thorax, 

 and rather narrower towards the apex. Body beneath of a deep 

 brown and punctate ; tibiae rough.
