Of ovate shape, the head with a few very fine punctures, 

 the vertex piceous, the lower portion pale fulvous, the frontal 

 tubercles broad, strongly raised, the eyes very large, the clypeus 

 nearly perpendicularly deflexed, palpi fulvous, the antennae 

 closely approached, extending to half the length of the elytra, 

 black, the first two joints fulvous, the third very slightly shorter

Garin Gheba, December. Several specimens. 



This species almost exactly resembles in colour //. bipustulata^ 

 Baly but the frontal tubercles in H. Balyi are more strongly 

 raised, the thorax is more closely punctured and the elytral pale
