Elongate, somewhat depressed, narrowing posteriorly, nigro- 
piceous or black, the antennae, legs, and mouth-parts ferruginous, 
glabrous above and very finely pubescent beneath, moderately 
shining, the head and thorax distinctly alutaceous. Head short, 
finely punctate, the oblique impressed line on each side of the 
epistoma just traceable, the eyes moderately large, prominent; 
antennae with joints 4-8 moniliform, the club broad and abrupt. 
Thorax transversely subquadrate, sharply margined and crenate at 
the sides, the base bisinuate and feebly margined, the apex sub- 
truncate, the anterior angles obtuse, the hind angles acute ; sparsely, 
finely punctate, obsoletely foveate in the middle before the base, 
the basal foveae distinct. Elytra about as wide as the thorax, 
moderately long, narrowing from the middle; regularly punctate- 
striate, the interstices faintly punctulate. Beneath alutaceous, 
finely punctate. Prosternal process rather broad. Tibiae gradu- 
ally widened outwards. ‘Tarsal joints 1-3 broad.

Two specimens, one with the lateral margins of the 
thorax strongly, the other with the margins more feebly, 
crenate. A moderately elongate, rather broad form, 
glabrous above, with two or three short teeth at the sides 
of the thorax. H. crenatus bears a certain resemblance 
to the cosmopolitan Nausibius dentatus, Marsh. |

Very elongate, depressed, gradually narrowing posteriorly, 
shining, testaceous, the head ferruginous, the eyes black, the 
antennae with joints 1, 2 and the club ferruginous and the inter- 
mediate joints black, the elytra piceous from about the basal 
fourth, the dark colour extending forwards along the suture to near 
the base; glabrous above and very sparsely pubescent beneath. 
Head rather long, moderately convex, finely punctate, the oblique
