H. piceo-brunnea, fulvo-varia ; prothorace bituberculato ; elytris 

 maculd obsoleta irregular! pone medium. 



Para. 



Pitchy reddish-brown, varied with small fulvous approximate 

 patches of pubescence, which rather below the middle of each 

 elytron are mixed with a little white, the fulvous patches behind 

 this being more distinct, so as to give the appearance of a border 

 to the naked eye ; prothorax with a slight tubercle on each side

Length 8 lines.

 Para. 



Dark brown, sprinkled and blotched with a yellowish grey ; 

 head as broad as the prothorax, which is cylindrical and slightly

 antennae twice as long as the body(^); spine of the anterior 

 coxae slender, incurved.
