This also is of the same section as the preceding. It is rather 
close to dispersum and vagabundum, differing from the former 
inter alia by the squarish somewhat large punctures in its 
elytral strie and the shorter vestiture of its upper surface, and 
from the latter (as described; I have not seen a type) by the 
interstices of its elytral strie not being granuiliferous. From 
H. longicorne and darlingense it differs inter alia by the much 
stronger striation of its elytra.

H. Victorie, sp. nov. Ovale; minus opacum; nigrum, setulis 
griseis sat crebre vestitum ; capite sat lato crebre ruguloso, 
clypeo a fronte sulco sat profundo diviso antice rotundatim 
minus profunde emarginato, ad latera sat fortiter (fere ut - 
H. Walkeri, Champ.) producto; oculis nullo modo divisis ; 
antennis brevibus prothoracem medium haud multo super- 
antibus, articulis 8-10 transversis ; prothorace quam longiori 
plus quam duplo latiori, subtiliter subcrebre indistincte 
granulato, ad latera explanato (quam H. Walkerz vix minus 
late), antice fortiter emarginato, postice bisinuato, lateribus 
leviter arcuatis postice nullo modo sinuatis, angulis omnibus 
leviter acutis, latitudine majori fere ad basin posita; scutello 
ut prothorax granulato; elytris leviter striatis, striis per 
rugulas crebras subtiles quasi punctulatis, interstitiis planis 
erebre subtiliter punctulatis obsolete granulatis ; tibiis an- 
ticis modicis a basi ad apicem dilatatis, angulo externo 
apicali acuto ; aa setis sat crassis subtus sparsim vestitis.

This species perhaps may be best compared with H. torridum, 
Champion, from which its larger size, much more widely explanate 
prothoracic border, wider and more absolutely flat elytral inter- 
stices, and generally finer and less rugulose puncturation render 
it very distinct. I have seen only a single example, which is in 
my own collection. It also resembles Meyricki, Blackb., differing 
from it, however, wnter alia by the feeble rounded emargination 
of the front of its clypeus.
