The clypeus is nearly on a continuous plane with the rest of the 

 head from which it is separated by a well marked angulated 

 suture, its outline angulated just in front of the eyes. The pro- 

 thorax is not quite J again as wide as long and slightly more than 

 half again as wide as its front which is widely and gently concave, 

 very slightly bisinuate, and has sharp but little prominent front 

 angles ; its sides are somewhat strongly rounded immediately 

 behind the middle, its hind angles exceptionally well defined and 

 almost rectangular; its base is scarcely bisinuate, but somewhat 

 strongly convex hindward in outline ; in both the examples before 

 me there is a small distinct round impression of a dark colour on 

 either side near the lateral margin a little behind the middle. 

 The elytra are almost or quite without trace of striation ; their 

 transverse wrinkling is feeble, their lateral fringe normal, their 

 apical membrane scarcely visible. The hind coxae are not much 

 longer than the second ventral segment ; they and the metaster- 

 num are punctured rather closely but not very strongly, — the 

 puncturation being somewhat even over the whole surface. The 

 puncturation of the ventral segments is feeble and lightly im- 

 pressed (especially in the middle) but not fine ; the ventral series 

 consist of long hairs and are fairly conspicuous. The hind femora 

 are moderately wider than the intermediate, their whole under- 

 surface {i.e., the surface not in contact with the body) being very 

 evenly though not closely punctulate, and their inner apical angle 

 moderately defined though very blunt. The front tibiae are 

 toothed like those of H. luhricus, but with the uppermost tooth 

 even more minute still in proportion to the others. 



This is another very distinct species, exceptionally broad be- 

 hind, — with the relative puncturation of the prothorax and elytra, 

 and the even puncturation of the undersurface (including the 

 hind femora) most unusual among its congeners.
