Venter : somewhat lighter, glossy, punctate, genital orifice 
large, between coxae 2 ; anal groove ogival ; spiracle a short 
comma. 
Gapitulum: base rather long, punctate, with short blunt cornua. 
Palps with article 2 only slightly salient, the lateral contours of 
articles 2 and 3 unbroken ; no dorsal spines. Yentrally article 2 
is much corrugated and forms a retrograde angle ; a short spine 
under article 3. Hypostome spatulate, with very large corona 
and 5/5 small pointed teeth about equal in size. 
Legs : strong ; coxae large, especially coxa 4, all with a short 
spur, sharp on coxa 1, conical on coxae 2 — 4. Tarsus 4 fairly 
long, considerably more slender than the preceding article. 
Female unknown. 
Description based on numerous specimens in a tube labelled 
H. flava at the British Museum. This is, no doubt, the short- 
spurred form of H. flava mentioned by Neumann (1901), but it is 
certainly a distinct species. In addition to the coxal armature it 
is distinguished from H. flava by its larger size and its different 
cervical and lateral grooves. Habitat, Japan.

parallel, slightly convex externally. Lateral grooves beginning 
about the anterior third of the body and ending behind the 
spiracles. Festoons long and narrow, well-marked, the intervals 
sometimes dark. 
Venter : sexual orifice broad, between coxae 2. Spiracles 
almost trapezoid, with very blunt rounded dorsal protuberance.
