considerably longer than the fourth), and its coxee (especially the 
four anterior ones) are placed further apart from each other,—the 
mesosternum being broad and emarginated behind (between the in- 
termediate legs), whereas in that genus it is narrow and reduced to 
a point. Its prothorax is armed on each side of the disk with a large 
and glabrous tubercle, and its elytra are somewhat separately rounded- 
off at their respective apices.

H. linear, much depressed, black, slightly shining, and sparingly 
beset with coarse, cimereous pubescence,—which on the prothorax 
is usually long, and more or less erect. Antenne rather short in 
both sexes. Head and prothorax somewhat coarsely, but not 
densely, punctured: the former with an impressed longitudinal 
line between the antenne: the latter rather wide, and much 
rounded at the sides; and with a large, glabrous, highly polished 
tubercle on either side of the disk. Hlytra coarsely wrinkled, or 
rugulose, especially behind, but scarcely punctured; each of them 
somewhat rounded-off at its inner apical angle; and ornamented 
across the disk (just before the middle) with an obscure, inter- 
rupted fascia of cinereous pile,—which is often entirely evanes- 
cent, but generally apparent in the form of an indistinct paler 
patch towards the inner disk of each elytron. Limbs nearly con- 
colorous with the rest of the surface. 
A common European insect, and doubtless imported into Madeira, 
A single specimen was captured by myself in the streets of Funchal 
during the summer of 1855 ; a second has been lately communicated 
by Mr. Leacock; and Mr. Bewicke informs me that two or three 
more have been recently met with. It occurs also in the Canary 
Islands.
