"This s))ecies is simply marked. The eyes are plainly lashed, but in 

 the type of the genus H. hadistriga, after renewed examination, I am 

 uot certain that they are, though I incline to regard them lashed."

 distinguishable from all its allies by the lack of connecting streak be- 

 tween the median lines, and the lack of a black streak from the reniform 

 outward.
