Type in the Brussels Museum. 



From our other two species of this genus, the present is at ouce 

 kuo wn by its scabrous and not reticulate frous and the almost 

 immaculate external orbits of the eyes, which are so narrowly and 

 obscurely flavous as to have escaped Cameron's notice. 



1 ha\e seen two females, in the Calcutta Museinn, agreeing- 

 perfectly in all other respects with Cameron's diagnosis of 

 H. reticulatum, but with fulvescent wiugs. These are a little 

 larger than the usual German form, which extends only to at 

 most 20 millim., and are correspondingly more coarsely sculptured; 

 but I can trace no specific distinction from examples captured by 

 myself in the New Forest. I am not aware that its distribution 

 has hitherto been known to extend into Eastern Europe.

c? . A red species, with the head and thorax black ; the former 

 M'itli the mouth, face, frontal orlnts shortly and external very 

 broadly throughout, tiavous ; the latter \\ith the scutelluni, post-

Lenyth IS millim. 



Burma : Karen Hills, 1300-2000 ft., si. 88 (L. Feci). 



Type in the Genoa Museum. 



This species is so similar to the last as to need no detailed 

 description ; it agrees with it throughout in sculpture, though 

 the coloration, and especially that of the wings, renders it 

 abundantly distinct. Described from a single male.
