 yellowish iri the middle and testaceous from the middle toward the end. 

 In most cases the cerci of the male taper all the way to the tip. This 

 species looks very much like H. festivus, but the transverse markings 

 are more strongly contrasted, the pregenicular annulation is more dis- 

 tinct; the tegmina are a little wider, not tapering as much.
