 coxae. In several subgenera ( Aloconota . ? lopsula , Slsopora, Dacrila 

 and rnypeta) the first joint of hind tarsi somewhat elongate and distinct- 

 ly longer than the second. In subgenus Jrnypeta the first two-three ventral 

 joints of abdomen are transversally grooved at base, a peculiarity where- 

 by it deviates from the preceding subgenera and forms the connection *ith 

 the following genus Tachyusa . with which its species both in appearence 

 and mode of living have much in common.

 II, 257; Sharp F;ev. Brit. Horn. 174; IJSuls. et Rey Bre'vip. 1875, 192; Janglb.

A very small, narrow and evenly broad species with rather slender 

 antennae, of which the outer joints are feebly transverse, it is furthen- 

 more especially recognized by the all over particularly fine, dense punc- 

 tation of the abdomen, and the feebly transversally grooved first joints, 

 of abdomen. It is somewhat similar both to H. ^emin a and anal is . From 

 ^emina it is easily separated by lesser size, antennal structure and the 

 denser punctation of the abdomen; from analis especially by form of head, 

 larger eyes and more slender antennae.

Pitch-black, feebly glistening, very finely haired; elytra and often 

 also pronotum brownish; abdominal tip brownish-red or brownish yellow; 

 antennae darkly brownish or rust-red and scarcely lighter at base; mouth- 

 parts and legs yellow.
