184 Mr. 0. Janson's Dc^cri'ptionsi of 



Most nearly allied to H. atripennis, Macl., a specimen of 

 which, from Count Castlenau's Collection, has been kindly 

 lent me for comparison by Major Parry, but from which it 

 dilfers in its less robust form, the colour and punctuation 

 of its elytra and head, and its narrow acutely margined 

 clypeus, and finally by the four posterior tibise of the 

 female being armed externally with an acute tooth in the 

 middle, whereas in H. atrijjennis they are simple, and by 

 the punctate abdomen in the female. 



Several of the specimens which I liave seen are entirely 

 reddish -brown.
