 This species, introduced by Mr. Waterhouse, must be 

 placed next after H. villosulay in our lists. 



It is rather smaller than H. longkornis, and narrower and 

 more elongate than II. intermedia^ from which it may be 

 known by its uniformly brown wing cases and testaceous 

 legs. 



It is subdepressed, black and somewhat shiny, the base of 

 the antennae and apex of abdomen being pitchy, the elytra 

 fusco-brunneous and legs testaceous ; the first four segments 

 of the abdomen are closely and delicately punctured, the 

 punctures being more scattered on the fifth segment, and the 

 sixth is smooth.

The above correction of nomenclature must be made in 

 Waterhouse's Cat. Brit. Col. p. 19, sp. 76, a specific im- 

 portance having been unduly given to one of the synonyms 

 by the figures 77 accidentally placed before it. No. 77
