defined, the middle lobe appearing not much more than half as 

 wide as, but rather longer than, the lateral ones. The entire 

 surface of the head is nearly even with scarcely a trace of a clypeal 

 suture. Prothorax not much more than half again as wide as 

 long ; its base about half again as wide as front which is moder- 

 ately emarginate with angles neither very prominent nor very 

 sharp; it is slightly wider just behind the middle than at the base; 

 sides gently arched ; hind angles viewed from above appearing 

 modemtely distinct and rectangular but neither sharp nor notice- 

 ably directed hindward ; the base feebly bisinuate and feebly 

 lobed. Elytra with scarcely any indication of any (even a 

 sutural) stria, their transverse wrinkling fairly conspicuous, their 

 lateral fringes normal, their apical membrane rather indistinct. 

 The puncturation of the elytra is much like that of H. gracilipes 

 while the prothorax is considerably less closely punctured than in 

 that species. The hind femora are not very much wider than the 

 intermediate, their inner apical angle feebly prominent and much 

 rounded. The hind coxae, metasternum, ventral segments and 

 legs agree with the description of those parts in //. j^unctijMnnis 

 except that on the anterior tibiae the teeth are evidently stouter, 

 the uppermost being larger, moreover, in proportion to the others. 

 Adelaide district. A specimen (in the collection of the Hon. 

 W. Macleay) from Gunning, N.S.W,, seems to differ only in its 

 darker colour.
