Allied to /7. mashunus ; a very little larger, and appears a 
little more robustly built. The head is very much more 
coarsely but yet closely punctured; the antenne are similar, 
but more robust ; they are feebly serrate, and alike in both 
sexes. ‘lhe thorax is like that of H/. mashunus, but more 
coarsely punctured; in both species it is wider than long, 
The elytra are also similar, but more coarsely punctured, the 
punctures are often confluent and are evenly spread over the 
whole surface; the pubescence is grey and not distinct, unless 
viewed sideways. 
Three examples were sent, obtained in November 1897. 
Hedybius variicornis, Bohem.

Two examples (a male and a female) are probably to be 
referred to this; but the measurements given by Boheman seem 
too small; our male measures 5 millim. and the female 44. 
The structure of the head is also not well expressed if our 
insect be identical, as it is not only ‘‘ uneven, with the front 
deeply impressed on each side,” but it has the buccal portion 
yellow, raised into a semicircular ridge in front of the eyes, 
and with an elevation projecting backwards into the cavity ; 
the whole occiput, which 1s black, is excavated, and with two 
or three black, setiform, elevated spines. ‘The antenne have 
the first two joints spotted with black above and the third to 
the sixth joints yellow, the remainder fuscous. ‘The head of 
the female is bifossulate; only the second joint is spotted, 
the fifth to the end joints fuscous, and the whole antenna 
shorter than in the male; the tarsi in the female are also 
blackish. 
Notwithstanding these slight discrepancies I think this 
insect is Hl. variicornis, Bohem.
