One female. Near the Pal?earetic H. femoralis, Er., and 

 similai'ly coloured. ; the antennae longer, serrate ; the liead 

 much smoother ; the elytra more densely punctate ; the erect, 

 dark, bristly hairs on the up[)er surface longer. The c^ pro- 

 bably has slender intermediate tibite, as in the less elongate 

 S, African H. dasytlfonnis (No. 10), and in the northern 

 //./if^morfl/iif and its allies. In the absence of this sex, H. 

 doUniani cannot be included in the Key given on pp. 179-180.

(^ . Rather short, pilose, very shining; bluish-green, the 

 elytra cyaneous, the antennre (the testaceous lower surface 

 of the basal joints excepted) black or metallic. Head and 

 prothorax almost smooth, the head short, broad, the pro- 

 thorax transverse, obliquely narrowed behind ; antennae 

 rather slender, the joints from 3 onwards much longer than 

 broad, 2 longer than 3. Elytra rather short, rapidly 

 widened from the. base, blunt at the tip, transversely 

 depressed on the disc below the base and along the suture 

 anteriorly ; coarsely, closely punctate, ahnost smooth at the 

 base and apex. Anterior trochanters sharply toothed ; 

 anterior tibiee rather stout, strongly sinuate, compressed 

 and excavate towards the apex within, and abruptly 

 emarginate and diaphanous on its inner edge before the tip ; 

 anterior tarsal joint 2 short, simple; intermediate tibiae 

 rapidly thickened from the base, becoming very stout 

 towards the apex, rounded and convex externally, hollowed

One male. In this insect the elytra are rather short and 

 subtriangnlar, coarsely, closely punctured at the sides and 

 across the middle, and almost impuuctate at the base 

 and apex, a form of sculpture unusual in the ju'esent genus ; 

 and the anterior trochanters are sharply toothed, the anterior 

 tibia3 strongly sinuate, and the intermediate tibiae very 

 stout. The nearest allied form in the collections before 

 me, H. ince<]ualis from Nyasaland &c., also has simple 

 anterior tarsi in cJ .
