026 X 0"3 mm.' Capitulum with ventral cornua. Legs: coxae feebly 

 armed. When replete the L may attain 1"33 x 01) luiii. 



Our descriptions of the (^ and $ refer more particularly to Texan 

 specimens (N. 719) named by Mr N. Banks, whilst the o and L are 

 described from specimens (N. 2322-2324) raised in Texas by Mr F. C. 

 Bishopp, who kindl}' presented us with them. 



Fig. 329. II. leporis-palmtris, larva. Scutum, capitulum in dorsal and ventral aspects, 

 coxae and tarsus III. Drawn from (N. 2321) Texan specimen. Original, N. C. del. 



This is the only known species of which the </ and $ have ventral 

 comua or points projecting postero-laterally from the basis capituli 

 as weir as dorsal cornua. Such ventral cornua occur, however, in the 

 immature stages of H. cinnaharina and H. cinnaharina var. jmnctata, 

 which are nearly allied forms.

^ The following measurements, in mm., relate to larvae : 



Bodies (replete) 

 N. 2322 0-2r, X 0-31 0-o5 x 0-45 N. 2323 1-2 x 0-38

 1-09 X 0-37 

 1-05 X 0-35

 Hooker, Bishopp and Wood, 1912, p. 89, give the size of the scutum at 0-24 x 0-3 mm., 

 that of the unfed larvae (capitulum included?) at 0"53x0-38 mm., the replete larvae 

 attaining 1-33 x 0-9 mm. Capitulimi 0-16 mm. long. The larvae we received from 

 Mr Bishopp were somewhat shrivelled by preservation in alcohol, consequently our 

 measurements of the replete Os are no doubt too low.
