rugous; the side-pieces of the trunk are densely punctured, ami 

 the abdomen is more finely punctured and more shining; the pro-

A mutilated specimen from California, kindly given me by Mr. 

 J. Akhurst. The form is as elongated as H. gracilis, bul the 

 elytra are marked with transverse rugosities as in //. rugulosus 

 and opacus. The antennae are more than half the length of the 

 body, not very slender, and the 9th and 10th joints are about 

 twice as long as their width.

 Georgia. Three joints of the front and middle tarsi are moder- 

 ately dilated and spongy beneath. The 9th and 1 0th joints of 

 the antennae are longer than twice their width. The elytra are 

 as deeply striate as in II. venustus.
