Hab. W. and E. Central Africa, Fort Sibut, Congo [type 

 of Pic), Nyangwe (Dr. Bequaert : 29. xi. 1910 : <$ , det. Pic) , 

 Amacli, Congo da Lemba, Yambata, Leopoldville, Bas-Kasai, 

 Mayumbe, Worabali, Coquilhatville, Manyema, &c. (Mus. 

 Congo Beige : S ¥ )> W. Ankole in Uganda (S. A. Neave : $ ). 



The above description of the <^ is taken from a specimen 

 from Nyangwe named H. testacticorids by Pic, but it does 

 not agree with his diagnosis, in which he gives the antennas 

 as " non epaissies " and wholly testaceous in colour ; a ? , 

 from Manyema, in the same collection was named by him 

 H. cribrarius, Thorns.?, and two others, from Lac Leopold II., 

 H. azttreus, Er., var. These examples have the head densely 

 rugulose, as he described. 



There is a long series of this species in the Congo 

 Museum, including a dozen males and several females, and 

 a ? from Uganda in the British Museum seems to belong 

 here.
