distinctly pimctiirecl especially near the ocelli. The cheeks are 

 thickly covered with white pubescence : the face is sparsely and 

 minutely punctured : the clypeus is much more strongly and dis- 

 tinctly punctured except at the apex. The punctures are large and 

 elongate, the centre at the apex is narrowly depressed. The lalirum 

 projects slightly in the centre, it is closely and coarsely aciculated 

 with the sides smootli. Mesonotum shining, closely punctured, 

 more closely punctured at the sides than in the middle. There is a 

 distinct basal central furrow which extends beyond the middle and 

 a shorter one on the sides. Scutellum smooth, the sides and apex 

 punctured. Post-scutellar region covered closely witb white pubes- 

 cence. The base of the median segment is covered witli stout 

 irregvdarly twisted stria?, which are more oblique laterally than in 

 the centre. The apical slope is smooth, shining, and is distinctly 

 bordered round the edges ; its top in the centre is slightly bent 

 downwards witb the edges oblique ; in tlie centre of the apical haK 

 is a deep, clearly defined, furrow. The lower part of the propleurse 

 is irregularly striated : below tlie niiddle at the base is an oblique 

 furrow. Mesopleurte thickly covered with wliite hair. "Wings 

 hyaline, the stigma testaceous, the nervures of a darker testaceous 

 colour ; the second recurrent nervure is interstitial. Legs black, 

 the hair white ; on the under-side of the tarsi fulvous, the calcaria 

 testaceous ; the spines on the hinder calcaria are long at the base 

 and become gradually shorter towards the apex. Abdomen smooth, 

 shining and impunctate : the segments at the base with a band of 

 white depressed pubescence. The anal fimbra is brownish and 

 broad ; the segment is brownish and the hair covering on it is long 

 and fuscous. 



The eyes converge slightly below, there is a distinct keel on the 

 lower part of the front, the metathoracic area is not defined at the 

 apex by a keel or distinct margin ; there is a distinct transverse 

 furrow beyond the middle of the basal two abdominal segments ; 

 the apices of the tarsi are rufous. The pubescent band on the base 

 of the second segment is broader than it is on the other segments. 



Comes near to H. allesens, which may be known from 

 it by the front not being carinate. It is related to If. 

 cariiiifrons. Cam.; that is a smaller, more slenderly- 

 built insect; the striated area reaches to the top of the 

 apical slope and the sides at the top are rounded, not 

 straight and oblique; the basal two segments of the 

 abdomen, too, want the transverse furrows. The calcaria 

 are more distinctly spined than usual.
