Another species somewhat close to H. punctijies and its 

 allies. It is distinguishable among them by its narrow elon- 

 gate form and its prothorax strongly narrowed in front. The 

 hind angles of its prothorax are well-defined right angles 

 (viewed from above) as in punctipes. The sculpture of the 

 elytra is near that of H. ingratus, btit is finer and less 

 strongly asperate. The unique type is almost certainly a male. 

 Victoria; near Harrietville.
