The only example that I have been able to examine of this 

 species is an imperfect one received by Mr. Bowring, from Java : 

 it presents very sufficient and striking characters ; the form of the 

 insect is short and parallel ; the sides of the thorax are much 

 rounded, compressed at the anterior and posterior angles ; the 

 elytra are marked by eight deep striae, formed by closely arranged 

 broad punctures ; in colour the surface is testaceous, the inter- 

 stices between the 1st and 2nd, the 3rd and 4tb, the 5th and 6th 

 striae being irregularly rufo-testaceous. 



5. H. pudlcus, n. sp. 



Ovalis, sat latus, et convexus, punctulatus, baud striato-puncta- 

 tus, rufus ; capite pallida rufo, oculis magnis, impunctato ; 

 thorace antice emarginato, lateribus tenue marginatis, basi ad 

 medium late angulato, impunctato, rufo, ad basin fusco-rufo ; 

 elytris convexis, robustis, punctulatis, rufis vel fusco-rufis ; 

 pedibus, antennis, corporeque subtus rufis. 

 Long Corp. lin. 1 ; lat. lin. §. 



H. pudicus is very nearly allied to H. rubescens : without care- 

 ful examination the two species may be confounded together : the 

 insect before us is altogether more robust, broader and not so long ; 

 the thorax is differently formed, being more narrowly transverse ; 

 the angle of the basal line near the scutellum is more distinct, and 

 the margin of the thorax {when viewed laterally) is shorter, more 

 in a line with the axis of the insect, and forming a much more 

 obtuse angle with the shoulders of the elytra. 



A single example before me was received by Mr. Bowring, from 

 Java. 



6. H. rubescens, n. sp. 

 Oblongo-ovalis, subtiliter punctatus, striato-pnnctatus, rufo- 



ferrugineus, nitidus ; capite impunctato, rufo ; thorace antice,
