This genus is sufficiently characterised among Australian 
genera as a Malachiid (having exsertile vesicles well developed), 
but with tarsi having their joints proportioned as (and much 
resembling) those of a Clerid.

The legs vary in color, being in some examples testaceous, with 
only the base of the femora and the tarsi infuscate ; in other 
examples almost entirely infuscate. At once distinguishable from 
Attalus abdominalis, Er., and A. australis, Fairm. (which I be- 
lieve to be congeneric), by its considerably larger size and the 
different color of its elytra, which are of a pale-bluish color, with 
a testaceous gloss. Its distinctly punctulate elytra also separate 
it from abdominalis, and the scarcely defined sutural edging of 
its elytra from australis, in which (if I have identified it cor- 
rectly) the suture is defined by a well-marked fine elevated line.

The comparatively large side of this species renders it incap- 
able of confusion with Attalus abdominalis, Er., and A. australis, 
Fairm., and its elytra are punctured much more evidently than in 
the former, and much more sparsely than in the latter of them. 
From H. punctulatus it differs by the color of its elytra—a bril- 
liant metallic blue—and legs (though it is quite possible the latter 
may be variable), by the presence of a well defined fine sutural
