upper surface except the pygidium is very much coarser and less 

 close than in H. normalis. The hind coxae are scarcely so long 

 (by measurement) as the suture between the metasternum and its 

 episterna ; the metasternum is closely and rather finely punctured 

 externally, less closely and more coarsely towards the middle ; the 

 hind coxae are punctured a little more strongly and less closely 

 than the metasternum externally but are almost impunctate in 

 their inner half. The basal ventral segment is punctured sparingly 

 and moderately strongly on the sides, sparingly and faintly in the 

 middle ; the other ventral segments are successively more and more 

 feebly punctulate. The ventral series consist of stout hairs rising 

 from granules and are very well defined. The hind femora are 

 considerably wider than the intermediate, their inner apical angle 

 well produced but rather obtuse. The uppermost tooth on the 

 anterior tibiae is strong (about half as large as the intermediate) 

 and moderately sharp.

Clypeus with strongly and widely reflexed margins, strongly 

 emarginate in middle ; " trilobed outline " of head having the lobes 

 very strong, the middle one barely a third as wide as either of the 

 others, about equal to them in length ; clypeal suture well defined, 

 impressed, and strongly angulated in the middle, clypeus not 

 forming an evenly continuous plane with the rest of the head. 

 Prothorax about twice as wide as long down the middle and 

 scarcely a third again as wide at base as at front which is moderately 

 concave with sharp moderately produced angles ; the sides con- 

 verging in a slight curve from base to front; the hind angles viewed
