H. quadrivittata, Lee. Pr. Ac. Phil. 1852. p. 133. 5. 



Rotundato-ovalis, modice convexa, nigra, valde punctulata, 

 tliorace lateribus flavis elytris margin e externo et apicali, vittaque 

 obliqua utrinque abbreviata flavis. L. *10. 



Similar to the female of II. annexa, but is strongly punctulate, 

 and the discoidal yellow vitta does not unite with the marginal 

 one. The organs of the mouth and the feet are piceous. One 

 specimen found near Lang's Peak.

Hemisphserica, punctulata, nigra, thorace margine laterali 

 pallido, elytris gutta subbasali, vitta abbreviata postica, margi- 

 neque externo subundulato flavis, tibiis anticis testaceis. L. # 10. 



Very similar to H. disconotata (Muls.), but the anterior spot 

 does not reach the base, the posterior spot is vittiform, extending 

 from the middle to within one-seventh of the apex; the outer 

 margin is much narrower and but slightly undulated, posteriorly 

 it separates from the margin, leaving the apex black. The feet 

 are black, the anterior tibiae, and extremity of the middle tibiae, 

 yellow.
