in Queensland. They appear to tally very well with the brief 

 description given by Sir W. Macleay (Trans. Ent. Soc. N.S.W., 

 11. p. 196) except in being somewhat larger (long. 3^, lat. 15- 

 lines). Unfortunately they have both lost their hind claws, but 

 from an inspection of the other claws I have little doubt that the 

 hind ones are appendiculate with the basal piece strongly com- 

 pressed and not much longer than the apical piece. 



The species is extremely close to H. montanus but differs from 

 it as follows : — it is smaller, its colour is paler, the puncturation 

 is evidently finer and closer throughout, the trilobed appearance 

 of the front outline of the head is very feeble owing to the slight 

 reflexion of the sides of the clypeus,the prothorax is decidedly more 

 transverse (nearly twice as wide as long) with its base scarcely 

 half again as wide as its front (the former being widely and very 

 distinctly convex hind ward, or lobed, in the middle).

The "trilobed" appearance of the front of the head is excep- 

 tionally well defined, the middle lobe appearing as long and a 

 little more than half as wide as the lateral lobes. The clypeus is 

 gently concave across the front, with a fine continuous margin, its 

 plane not continuous with that of the rest of the head, its suture 

 very feebly and widely angulated, its sides converging hindward 

 abruptly and strongly close in front of the eyes, so that their 

 outline is there angulated. The prothorax is J again as wide as
