Its large size is sufficient to distinguish this species from 

 all its immediate allies. It bears much general resemblance 

 to the species which I take to be //. hadia, Burm., but differs 

 from it widely by the structure of its maxillary palpi, also by 

 the very much closer puncturation of its pronotum, and by 

 the hind angles of that segment being rounded off and not 

 dilated.

Somewhat closely allied to the species that I take to be 

 H . pert oralis, Blanch., but very distinct on account of its pro- 

 notum less closely punctulate and with its lateral outline 

 forming an even curve, the greatest width being very little 

 behind the middle.
