NOTES ON CLERIDAE Ql 



The form of the thorax is very similar to that of H. pubescens, but it is 

 longer and narrower at the apex. The finely, densely punctured area at 

 about apical third of elytra, which is present in many species, is entirely 

 wanting in H. dubia, the pubescence clothing this portion is without dis- 

 tinct lateral direction.
