  This 
  is 
  evidently 
  related 
  to 
  H. 
  incliaans, 
  Smith, 
  also 
  found 
  

   at 
  Windsor, 
  but 
  cannot 
  be 
  its 
  male, 
  the 
  mesothorax 
  being 
  

   much 
  more 
  shiny 
  and 
  sparsely 
  punctured. 
  In 
  both, 
  the 
  

   first 
  r. 
  n. 
  enters 
  the 
  third 
  s.m. 
  near 
  the 
  basal 
  corner.

  This

  known 
  from

  urbanus 
  by 
  the 
  light 
  

   reddish 
  stigma 
  and 
  green 
  abdomen. 
  From 
  H. 
  Jioralis 
  it 
  is 
  

   known 
  by 
  the 
  larger 
  size 
  and 
  other 
  characters.
