Hab. India, Kanara, Belgaum (May). 



About the same size as H. Fairmarei Bourg, and with the 

 antennae of the same length, viz. about half as long as the body 

 and with long rami from the third to the tenth joints, as in that 

 species. The head is yellow but clouded with black between the 

 antennae, and the paipi (except at their extrême base), and the 

 bases of the antennae are black; the pronotum is transversely sub- 

 quadrate, the hind angles are not so much produced as in H. Fair- 

 mairei, and are nearly rectangular; there is an obsolète central 

 channel, widest near the base ; the disk is thickly clothed with 

 yellow pubescence, and is exceedingly fînely punctate. The elytra 

 are as in H. Fairmairei, but are entirely black, (as is the scutel- 

 lum) there is no trace of costation, but they do occasionally appear 

 obsoletely sulcate outside the humerai callus, the legs are yellow, 

 but the tibiae are clouded and externally at least are fuscous, the 

 tibiae are compressed, and the hind pair especially,flattened like the 

 blade of an oar. The anterior and middle coxse are long and con- 

 tiguous. The abdomen is black and the terminal plates are short, 

 and rounded like a spoon.

 nbus, rigidis, gradatim longioribus, capite superne nigro, scutello 

 Jlavo, elytris bicostatis. 



India., Kanara (Bell). 



A certain number of examples differ as above and I cannot feel 

 at ail certain that tiiey are females at ail. Agreeing in so mauy 

 minor détails with H. Andrewesi^ but differing so widely in the 

 structure of the antennae, they must either be the other sex or be 

 referred to another genus. The abdomens appear longer, and more 

 attenuate, but are so distorted (being set on points of card) that no 

 safe conclusion can be arrived at from thèse examples.

This species resembles H. Andrewesi, and E. Fairmairei, but 

 may be distinguished from both by its smaller size, by the antennae 

 black at the base, by the black raetasternum as well as abdomen
