Moderately elongate, very finely pubescent, shining; black, the basal voixx^-'L^'^'^ 

 joints of the antennae, the palpi (except at the tip), the prothorax (an elongate 

 patch or streak on the disc excepted), the elytra with a common, angulate, 

 ante-median fascia and an apical patch, the abdomen in part, and the legs 

 (except the basal halves or more of the intermediate and posterior femora 

 and the apical tiiird or more of the posterior tibiae, which are black) testaceous 

 or rufo-testaceous, the rest of the elytra cyaueous or bluish-green ; the head 

 and prothorax very sparsely, extremely minutely punctate (appearing almost 

 smooth at first sight), the elytra closely, rather strongly punctured. Head 

 narrower than the prothorax ; antennae long, rather slender, subserrate, joint 

 2 sliorter tlu\n 3, 11 elongate. Prothorax convex, transverse, rounded at tiie 

 sides, narrowed towards the base. Elytra broader than the prothorax, widened 

 posteriorly, carinate laterally, depres>ed on the disc, and with an oblique fold 

 extending downward from the humeral callus. 



S • Elytra and excavate at the apex, the excavation bordered by a stou , 

 prominent, C ID-shaped ridge (the apices thus appearing produced); terminal 

 abdominal segment bifurcate; posterior tibiae bowed inwards and slightly 

 thickened towards the tip. 



5 . Posterior tibiae more curved, slender, distinctly produced at the apex 

 beyond the insertion of the tarsus; elytra rounded at tip ; terminal abdominal 

 segment less deeply emarginate. 



Length 3-4 mm. {6 9-)

Twenty-seven specimens, including eleven males, beaten from 

 Mi/rica nage. The elytra have the base and a large anteriorly-rounded 

 patch beyond the middle (confluent with the opposite one at the suture) 

 metallic blue or green. The submarginal carina of the elytra is stout 

 and prominent in both sexes.

Extremely like H. auritus ; the prothorax, the anterior half of the head
