eyes), prothorax, and abdomen (the black terminal segment 
excepted) testaceous or rufo-testaceous ; the palpi and legs 
black or metallic. Head narrower than the prothorax, finely 
punctured anteriorly, with a longitudinal ridge on each side 
near the eyes and a transverse raised Jamella in the middle 
between them, these elevated spaces separated by grooves 
extending forward from a deep transverse excavation near 
the base; antennez stout, rather long, serrate. Prothorax 
convex, trausverse, rounded at the sides; transversely de- 
pressed in the centre anteriorly, and with an angular 
prominence in the centre in frout; very sparsely punctu- 
late, groovel within the basal margin. LElytra rather long, 
wider than the prothorax, rounded at the apex , incompletely 
covering the abdomen, several segments of which are ex- 
posed ; densely, rather strongly punctate. Anterior tarsal 
joints 1 and 2 slightly thickened, 2 distinctly raised above 3 
at the tip. The exposed terminal dorsal segment of abdo- 
men small, concave, shining, feebly emarginate at tip. 
Length (to apex of elytra) 43-5 mm. 
Hab. KH. Arrica, Ngong Forest, Nairobi (A. F. J. Gedye : 
Lox 1920). 
Two males, beaten from shrubs. This insect has the 
antenn, prothorax, and the greater part of the head and 
abdomen rufo-testaceous, the elytra metallic green, and the 
palpi black. It is very different from any other species of 
the genus known to me, and perhaps comes nearest to 
H.rufiventris (No. 36), the 2 only of which has been found.
