A .lingular form, nf wliicli uiifortunatL-ly only a single female specimen 

 was oV)taincd. Altliougli belonging to Lacordaire's group Pimelo^ndes, tlie 

 hind tibia} are not so broad and robust as in the other genera of that group, 

 and the edge of the ol)liquely truncated tibi;c is somewhat flexuous. The 

 propygidium is not produced (at least in the $ ), and the pygidium is very 

 large and convex. For Figure see the Plato facing p. 32.

Hi(h. West of Quito (height nut known). 



Mr. Whymper obtained at Quito one specimen only of this fine species, 

 which differs too much from the CV)loml>ian H. Schdnherri to l)e considered 

 merely an extreme development of that insect. The general form is longer 

 and less convex, the elytra relatively longer, and the thorax more gradually 

 narrowed in front. It is glossy-black above and dark rusty-ldack beneath. 

 The head horn is ninth longer than in H. Schujiherri ($ , less regularly 

 curved, flexuous, and thickened behind a little before the apex ; the thoracic 

 horn is less elevated, more horizontal and greatly lengthened, the apex reach- 

 ing Ijeyond the clypeus ; it is densely clothed, as well as the jjunctured 

 anterior concavity of the thorax, with reddish hairs, which also cover a great 

 part of the under surface of the body and the base of the pygidium. The 

 sides of the thorax are coarsely rugose-punctate, the upper surface smooth. 

 The elytra are nearly smooth near the scutellum and densely vermiculate- 

 rugose and punctate, but much less coarsely than H. Schonherri in the rest of 

 their surface. For Figure see the accompanying Plate.
