100 Dr. Sharp's Bevlsion of the 



paler; antennae rather long and slender, a little thick- 

 ened towards the apex, third joint not quite so long as 

 the second, about twice as long as the fourth, fourth not 

 so long as fifth, 5-10 differing little in length, the 5th dis- 

 tinctly, the 10th scarcely, longer than' broad, eleventh 

 oval, half as long agaiu as the tenth. Head large, a little 

 narrower than the thorax ; shining, narrowed in front, 

 with an indistinct impression between the eyes, very finely 

 punctured. Thorax but little narrower than the base of 

 the elytra, its length about equal to its breadth, the sides 

 a little narrowed towards the base ; very finely and pretty 

 densely punctured, with a short channel or impression, 

 in front of the scutellum. Elytra scarcely longer than 

 the thorax, narrower at the base than at the apex, their 

 length not quite so great as their width ; their punctuation 

 not quite so fine as that of the thorax. Abdomen some- 

 what narrowed towards the apex, segments 2-4 above 

 finely and rather sparingly punctured, the fifth segment 

 not quite so thickly punctured, 6th almost impunctate. 

 Legs yellow. 



In the male the 6th abdominal segment is furnished 

 above with a distinct pointed tubercle, and the posterior 

 margin of the seventh with four teeth, two distinct ones 

 placed close together in the middle, and an obsolete one 

 on each side. 



Distinguished from H. camhrica, by being rather larger, 

 n^o-e shining, with a differently shaped head, by its rather 

 stouter antennse, and by its shorter and paler elytra. 



Found by Mr. Crotch and myself on the borders of 

 Loch Eannoch in Perthshire, May, 1866. 



Obs. — Judging from description only, this species must 

 be allied to H. debilicornis, Er., Kr., which species is 

 placed as British in Mr. Waterhouse's Catalogue, but as 

 I have never seen a British specimen, and there was 

 probably a mistake in the determination, the name must 

 be erased from our Catalogue.

 uibus; thorace subquadrato, posticevix angustato; elytris 

 hoc fere sesqui longioribus; abdomine supra segmentis 

 2-5 subtiliter sat crebre punctatis, segmento sexto lasvi- 

 gato. Long. 1^ lin.
