64 !Mr. 1). Sluirp'.s Contrlhutiuns to the 



a larp^o centnil lobe, and on each side a jji-qjecting spine ; 

 the central lobe is itself emarginate at the hind margin, 

 and its angles are quite rounded ; the lateral spine on each 

 side is ])ointed, and very nearly straight, and docs not 

 extend (piite so i'ar backward as the most prominent part 

 of the central lobe. 



Garrao; a single male, found with //. hrcvis. 



Ohs. I. — The middle tarsi in this species are 5-jointed, 

 the two basal joints being short, and similar to one another 

 in length ; the four basal joints of the hind tarsus also differ 

 but little from one another in length ; the middle cox.ia are 

 distinctly separated ; the apices of the meso- and meta- 

 sternal ])rocesses are rounded and widely separated from 

 one another by a black space. 



Obs. II. — This species is smaller and narrower than 

 H. hrevis, to which it bears a considerable resemblance ; 

 the antennna are rather more slender, and the hind body 

 less densely punctured. The individual described is per- 

 haps immature.

Antenna} rather stout, only moderately long, the two or 

 three basal joints obscure yellow, the following ones infus- 

 cate, the 11th clear yellow; 3rd joint slender at base, but 

 broad at apex, almost equal to 2nd joint in length and 

 breadth; 4th not shorter and only slightly narrower than 

 5th, hardly so long as broad ; 5 — 10 dilfering but little from 

 one another, each transverse, the 10th more strongly so 

 than the 5tli; 11th joint rather elongate, quite as long as 

 the two preceding together. Head broad and short, the 

 eyes moderately hirge, infuscate-yellow, finely punctured, 

 with the vertex depressed in the middle. Thorax rather 

 strongly transverse, slightly narrower than the elytra, 

 nearly straight at the sides, with the base rounded, yellowish 

 in colour, very finely punctured and obscurely impressed 

 along the middle. Elytra a little lo'nger than the thorax, 

 finely and closely, but distinctly, punctured. Hind body 

 yellow, with the 5th and 6th segments infuscate, very 

 finely and not densely punctured, the apical segments 

 rather more sparingly so than the basal ones. Legs pale 

 yellow.
