 ened, strongly, simply sinuate within, hollowed beneath ; 

 anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 thickened, subequal in length, 

 2 extending over base of 3 and nigro-pectinate at the tip ; 

 intermediate tibitevery stout, broadly dilated, convex, slightly 

 sinuate externally, almost sti-aight on their inner edge, deeply 

 sulcute beneath, without trace of lobe at theinner apical angle.

The above description is taken from a pair in the British 

 Museum. The ^ agrees fairly well with Pic's diagnosis of 

 //. luzonensis, except that he makes no particular allusion 

 to the greatly thickened intermediate tibise, these (and the 

 posterior pair also I) being given as "epaissies.^' The present 

 insect is narrower and less convex than the African 

 H. sjostedti and //. siinoni, and the pale legs, &c., separate 

 it from //. mirabilis. Pic. 



69. Hajxdochrus mirabilis.

^ . Antennae long, strongly flabellate from joint 4 onward ; 

 anterior tarsal joints 1 and 2 thickened, 2 projecting over 

 the base of 3 ; anterior tibiie sinuate within ; intermediate 

 tibiae simple.
