Prof. Bolivar's description of the micropterous form requires a slight 

 qualification. The statement given in the last Jine that the lateral black 

 line on the pronotum does not extend behind the salens typicus is not 

 always true. We have a short-winged female in our collection in which the 

 lateral black line extends to the posterior border of the pronotum and in 

 fact the black markings on the pronotum are practically identical with 

 those he has described for the normal form. Lefroy's figure, which 

 is also of a female, shows the same characteristics. 



In addition to the Latin description, Prof. Bolivar gives a comparison 

 between if. banian and H. negro-repletus, BoL, which I here synopsize from 

 the Spanish original. 



1. Colour. There is marked difference in the markings on the pro- 

 thorax and sides of the thorax. 



2. Size. H. nigro-repletus is more robust and shows no constriction 

 in the prothorax. The anterior femora (in the male) are much larger, the
