but the female might be confounded with H. suhsinuata 

 or fungicoJa, though distinct enough from either. It 

 varies a good deal in colour, and northern specimens ap- 

 pear to be larger and darker than those found near 

 London.

A rather broad, flat species. Antennae rather slender, 

 scarcely thickened towards the apex; joints two and three 

 rather short, three not quite so long as two, four rather 

 small, about as long as broad, the following joints slightly 

 transverse; eleventh joint long in proportion to the rest 

 of the antennae, about three times as long as the tenth. 

 The head is narrower than the thorax, subquadrate, with 

 the angles rounded, finely and- indistinctly punctured; 

 in the male with a deep longitudinal impression or chan- 

 nel, in the female generally with a short channel, but 

 sometimes without any trace of this. The thorax is a 

 little narrower than the elytra, about half as broad again 

 as long, the sides a little rounded at the anterior angles, 

 then a little narrowed behind, finely and closely punc- 

 tured ; in the female with a short channel in front of the 

 scutellum, in the male with the disc longitudinally de- 

 pressed and channelled. The elytra are about a third 

 longer than the thorax, of a brownish colour, finely and 

 pretty densely punctured. The abdomen has the basal 

 segments, two to four, finely and moderately closely punc- 

 tured, fifth segment more sparingly punctured, sixth 

 nearly impunctate. Legs yellow. 



In the male, the head and thorax are deeply impressed, 

 the abdomen has the dorsal plate of the seventh segment
