Though falling, in the preceding tabulation, beside R. 

 clypecdis, Blackb., this species is not allied to it so closely as to 

 H. solida, Blackb., being of much more robust form than 

 clypealix, with its pronotum strongly declivous at the base, so 

 as to appear (viewed from the side) strongly convex. From 

 sol'uht (besides its differently sculptured head) it differs by its 

 smaller size, much more strongly punctulate elytra, and pro- 

 notum with a setose fringe (very widely interrupted in the 

 middle) immediately in front of the basal edging.
