Nearly allied to H. Capicola, Aubé (Spec. Gen. 196); but 
differing from it by its more parallel form and entirely rufo-flavous 
head and thorax; the elytra also, instead of being more or less 
flavous irrorated with black, are entirely black, the humeral angle 
being flavous, and also the line of margination, obscurely and in- 
terruptedly, but more distinctly flavous near the apex. 
I have received a single specimen from the Gold Coast, through 
Mr. 8. Stevens.

H, sobrino (Aubé) valde afiinis, sed elongatior, grandior, et

lateribus vix rotundatis, subelongatis, punctorum seriebus 2

Sufficiently distinct from the Madagascarian H. sobrinus. In 
general form it is decidedly larger, as well as more parallel in 
outline, and more marked in coloration. The head, instead of 
being fuscous with divers flavous markings, is entirely flavous, 
with a black transverse margin (the same as in H. sobrinus) at the 
base. The thorax also is different in pattern; it too is entirely 
flavous, with a narrow basal margin of black, instead of being 
medially and broadly transversely black, without any such basal 
margin. The elytra are comparatively narrower and more 
parallel; and while the manner of coloration is the same in both 
(that is, a flavous ground irrorated with thickly-aspersed circular 
black spots, and these spots, by becoming confluent, forming two 
transverse bars of black, medial and apical), in the species before
