The above description of the (^ is taken from a specimen 

 from Nyangwe named H. testacticornis by Pic, but it does 

 not agree with his diagnosis, in which he gives the antennae 

 as " uon epaissies ^' and wholly testaceous in colour ; a ? , 

 from Manyema, in the same collection was named by him 

 H. cribrarius, Thoms.?, and two others, from Lac Leopold II., 

 H. azureus^ Er., var. These examples have the head densely 

 rugulose, as he described. 



There is a long series of this species in the Congo 

 Museum, including a dozen males and several females, and 

 a ? from Uganda in the Biitish ^liiseum seems to belong 

 here.
