 transverse but projecting anteriorly (in tlie male very con- 

 spicuously so), there are no antenna! fossettes, and the anterior 

 tibiie are 3-dentate. Both in Macrolister and Packijlister the

 jtronoto stria interna in medio siniiata ; elj'tris striis \-'^ integris, 

 4-5 brevissimis, punftitbrmibus ; propj'gidio pygidioque ocelato-

L. 9| mill. 



Oval, somewhat convex, black and shining ; the head, 

 frontal stria conij)lete, straight anteriorly, deepest over the 

 eyes, vertex feebly concave ; the thorax, marginal stria fine 

 and terminating behind the eyes, the lateral stria terminates 

 in front after passing the angle, the inner lateral is sinuous 

 in the middle and continues behind the head ; the elytra, the 

 iimer humeral stria is dimidiate, shortened before and behind 

 (in one example it is very short), the oblique stria is fine but 

 long, dorsal strife 1-3 complete, 4-5 are represented only by a 

 few apical punctures ; the punctuation of the ))ygidia is very 

 distinctive ; both segments are longitudinally finely raised in 

 the middle, the line being clearly visible in certain lights, and 

 tiie punctuation is large, ccellate, not close but somewhat 

 irregular, and the apices of both segments have a 3-sided area, 

 smooth ; the mcsosternum is rather deeply emarginate and is 

 bistriate at the sides only ; the tibiaj, anterior pair are 3- 

 dentate, apical tooth very strong, intermediate less so, basal 

 short and obtuse, the intermediate and posterior tibiie are 

 inultispinose. 



H. lucisus, Lew., //. Baconi and //. assame?isis, IMars., 

 are somewhat similar species to this, but the ocellate punctua- 

 tion of the pygidia easily distinguishes it.

This species is similar to H. longicollis, Mars. ; it differs 

 chiefly in having the frontal stria carinate, the thorax with a 

 marginal stria along the sides and three lateral stria?, the 

 cdytral striee are stronger and the fifth and sutural are longer, 

 sometimes even complete, and the mesosternutn is anteriorly 

 truncate with a strong marginal stria. The punctuation of
