falsely applied the present name to a much larger species, which 

 must therefore now be called H. {S.) opalinus. — Lec] 



10. H. VTRims. — Green, beneath black ; feet rufous ; thorax 

 punctured ; elytra with minute hairs. 



Length two-fifths of an inch. 



Head tinged with bronze ; antennas and palpi rufous ; labrum 

 piceous ; thorax before and at base slightly bronzed ; punctures 

 numerous, obsolete on the anterior disk ; elytra slightly tinged 

 with brassy, with acute, impunctured striae, and numerous short 

 hairs ; interstitial lines flat ; feet rufous ; bears some resemblance 

 to Feronia lucublandus. 



[Previously described as H. viridtseneus Beauv. and subse- 

 quently as If. assimilis Dej. — Lec] 



11. H. IIYLACIS. — Black ; labrum, mouth, and feet testace- 

 ous ; abdomen piceous ; base of the thorax narrowed, angles ob- 

 tuse. 



Length three-tenths of an inch. 



Body black, beneath piceous ; labrum, mandibles, excepting at 

 tip, palpi, three basal joints of the antennae, and feet rufo-testa- 

 ceous ; antennae dusky. Thorax of equal diameters, narrower at 

 base than the elytra, bi'oadest in the middle ; lateral edge regu- 

 larly arquated ; angles very obtuse, posterior edge rectilinear ; a 

 longitudinal, slightly impressed, continuous line; basal lines 

 Very distinct. Elytra with a very slight greenish shade; basal 

 joint of the anterior and intermediate tarsi dilated and granula- 

 ted beneath, the remaining joints hardly dilated. 



The first or basal joint of the anterior and intermediate [32] 

 tarsi only is dilated, and it is granulated beneath as in csenus, 

 and of course does not, strictly speaking, belong to this genus. 

 The haltimor lends, carhonarim, agricolus, csenus, and rusticus 

 have also granulations, or rather close set hairs on the dilated 

 tarsi of the male. On account of this distinctive character, I 

 should have referred them all to that division of Feronia in which 

 M. Latreille places Epomis, &c., did not that author expressly 

 state that insects of that division ought to have the two anterior 

 tarsi only of the male dilated.
