The 12-jointed antennz of the male is a character occurring 
also in the following species ; and I find it as well in HZ. basalis. 
It may be noticed that the apical portion is thickened in some 
individuals, owing to the penultimate joint being of the same 
size as the one preceding, and both, as well as the last, being 
closely fringed. In general appearance this species might be 
taken at the first glance for H. australis; but the transverse 
face of the latter, without the raised lines at the sides, will 
readily differentiate it.

There is a dark stripe bordered with white externally on 
each side of the prothorax of one of my specimens; the 
elytral crest is also black, and the pubescence of a whitish 
grey; the amount of ashy colour on the antenne is also vari- 
able. This species is allied to H. basalis; the latter, enter 
alia, has the antennary tubers more produced and approximate, 
and the terminal joints of the antenne nearly as short again.
