Oval, convex, black and shining; the head, frontal stria 
arched, not very strong, and minutely irregular anteriorly ; 
the thorax, lateral stria oblique, distinctly shortened at 
the base, and continuing behind the head is sinuous be- 
hind the eye, it is crenulate between the foveew, which are 
similar to those of calest’s, but impunctate or nearly so; the 
elytra, the inner humeral sulcus is rather deep and median, 
nearly equally shortened at either end, dorsal strie 1-3 
complete, 4 well shortened at the base, 5 dimidiate, sutural 
almost as long as the fourth and apically it turns slightly 
from the suture; the propygidium and pygidium are punc- 
tured similarly to the corresponding segments in H. myrmi- 
don, Mars.; the prosternum, the anterior lobe is rather closely 
punctured and margined with a narrow border; the meso- 
sternum is truncate anteriorly, with the marginal stria com- 
plete, and on the middle of the posterior edge is a circular 
and very conspicuous fovea; the tibiee are formed like those 
of H. silvicola.

Shortly oval, convex, black and shining; the head, stria 
strong, complete, and simply arched from the eyes forward ; 
the thorax, anterior outline semicircular, lateral stria is feebly 
oblique and does not quite reach the base, anteriorly it is 
complete and slightly sinuous behind the eye, the marginal 
stria is fine and ceases behind the eye, the impression or 
fovea behind the anterior angle is more marked than that of 
H. celestis, Mars., and on the disk in a line behind each eye 
is a small shallow fovea. I think this last is a permanent 
character, but I possess only one example. The elytra, strie, 
inner humeral is short and rather deep and is nearer the 
shoulder than the apex, dorsal striz 1-4 complete, 5 di- 
midiate, sutural a little longer and apically bending towards 
the fifth; the propygidium is sparsely punctured, the points 
are similar to those of H/. myrmidon, Mars. ; the pygidium is 
less distinctly punctulate ; the prosternum, the anterior lobe 
is irregularly punctate and the rim somewhat thickened ; the 
mesosternum is feebly angulate in the middle and margined 
with a rather fine stria; the metasternum also has a complete
