The narrow pure- white band of the elytra contrasted with the 

 distinctly limited rusty-red and black patches of the rest of the 

 upper surface, except the white blotch on each side of the pro- 

 thorax, clearly distinguishes this species from II. fascieulatm, Boh., 

 after which it may be placed.

 mulis albidis valde dispersis, basi elytrorura macula magna orbiculata

The well-marked circular spot on the elytra, surrounded by a 

 white ring, the middle of the spot occupied by a thick erect tuft 

 of dead-black scales, makes this one of the most distinct species 

 of the genus, 



Haplonyx cionoides. H. breviter ovatus, rufo-piceus, squamulis 

 flavescentibus irregularitcr adspersus, basi elytrorum macula parva 

 fusca dctcrminata ; rostro antennisque ferrugineis, illo valido, modice 

 elongato, cylindrico, reticulato-granulato ; prothorace subconico, valde
