Shortly oval, rather convex, black and shining ; the liead 

 flat and impunctate above, stria well-marked, complete, and 

 nearly straight anteriorly ; the thorax, inner lateral stria 

 strong and complete, not incurved at the base, interstice rather 

 wide, outer stria short, not passing the angle anteriorly, but 

 extending a little behind ; the elytra, striae, inner humeral 

 apical and just passing the middle, 1-2 dorsal complete, but 

 the second is somewhat feeble at the base, 3-5 are traceable 

 only in certain lights and are indicated by fine points, the 

 sutural is fine but distinct, abbreviated anteriorly but only 

 indistinctly shortened behind ; the propygidiuni and the 

 pygidium are very minutely and not closely punctured, the 

 latter is narrowly margined on the outer edge ; the meso- 

 sternum is emarginate, with a stria on both sides of the 

 emargination, the usual marginal stria is complete and well- 

 marked and is arched in front and does not follow the contour 

 of the segment. H. gorilla^ Sell., has the mesosternal stria 

 sinuous anteriorly and no short lateral striae. //. adjectus, 

 Mars., has the lateral strise, but they are not so conspicuous. 

 The anterior tibise are strongly 3-dentate. 



The dorsal strise of this species are very peculiar, but the 

 three species mentioned have some characters in common.
