Tills insect is so very closely allied to //. ainoenus, that I 

 tliink it only necessary to call attention to the observed 

 dirt'ercMices, whicli are that the thorax is not transverse, in 

 some males there is a sliglit denticulation in the margin, 

 in others it is quite simple ; the antennte are longer in the 

 male and unspotted, but with the extreme apex black ; 

 the elevated ridge borders the whole inner side of the eye, 

 passing into the frontal elevation. 



Obs. — It is j)erhaps not correct to say that the second 

 joint of the front tarsi in the male overlaps the third, but it 

 is ceitainly distorted and raised above the very short third 

 joint, and is black at its tip. 



The Jlcdyhii which I have seen from the Cupe of Good 

 Hope, which at all resemble the above, have the heads quite 

 differently formed in the males, and have smooth and shining 

 elytra, wrinkled and substriate.

Very closely allied to //. amomus, to be distinguished from 

 it by the wholly yellow antennae and legs, and by the head 

 having less black at its base in either sex, but especially by 

 the elevated canthus of the eye, which rises like a short horn, 

 being separated from the temples by a deep groove, yellow at 

 the botton) ; so that the eye and its horn are quite separated
