very large and prominent. The thorax is strongly trans- 
verse in the female, and a little longer and with the 
anterior angles placed further backward in the male 
[described as nearly square, not wider than long]. I 
cannot detect the very short raised carinae on the abdomen 
mentioned by Gorham.

Additional localities for this species are :— 
Mexico, Tampico (Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.), Acapulco 
(Baker, in U.S. Nat. Mus.); British Honpuras (Blan- 
caneaux); GUATEMALA, Champerico (Baker, in U.S. Nat. 
Mus.); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion); Brazit, 
Rio Janeiro, Santa Catharina (Fry). 
After examining a long series of specimens from Brazil 
and Panama I am unable to separate the Mexican H. 
parallelus from the Brazilian H. fuscus, the punctuation 
of the elytral interstices being somewhat variable. H. 
brevicorms, from Parahyba, is doubtless a ferruginous 
form of the same species, of which there are several in 
the Fry collection. The similarly-coloured variety men- 
tioned by Gorham, from Mexico and British Honduras, 
has the elytral interstices much smoother than usual. 
Dark examples usually have the humeri rufescent. The 
eyes are coarsely facetted, very large, and prominent. 
The antennae are rather short, and the joints preceding 
the club are transverse, the eighth often subangulate 
within. The thorax is strongly transverse in both sexes, 
a little shorter in the female than in the male. The elytra 
are long and subparallel, and usually have the interstices 
conspicuously seriate-punctate. Two of the Brazilian 
examples are smoother and more shining, as well as being 
larger and more elongate, than the rest, but they seem to 
belong to the same species; these specimens come near
