Four males and three females, communicated by Dr. 

 Peringuev. A small form resembling H. Uneaticornis, but 

 differing from it in the more slender, differently-coloured 

 antennge in the c? , the third and fourth joints of which are 

 elongate and want the shining black area beneath. The ? 

 is smaller than that of H. erostis, Er., and. wants the deep 

 median sulcus on the pygidium.

Dr. Peringuey has lent me a male and two females of this 

 species. The triangular dilatation of the fifth antennal 

 joint is a remarkable character in the ^ . The prothorax is 

 sti'ongly transverse, flavous, with a broad nigro-caeruleous 

 patch extending across the disc; the elytra are densely.
