pronotum is conspicuously finer than in occidentalis and the 

 nind angles of the prothorax are considerably blunter. The 

 depression at the apex of the elj^tra is much feebler. I be- 

 lieve the unique type to be a male.

 H. '7nonficola , Blackb., sp. nov. Sat elongatns, postice levi- 

 ter dilatatus ; sat nitidus ; ferrugineus ; supra pilis brev- 

 issimis sparsim vestitus ; clypeo crebre ruguloso, antice 

 prof uncle arcuatim eraarginato ; labro clypei planum vix 

 attingenti, antice (capite oblique a tergo viso) manifesto 

 concavo ; fronte minus crebre vix f ortiter punctulato ; 

 clypeo fronteque ut plana disparia visis ; antennis 9- 

 articulatis, articulo 3° c|uam 2"* breviori ; prothorace 

 c|uam longiori ut 9 ad 5 latiori, antice modice angustato, 

 supra minus crebre minus fortiter punctulato (punc- 

 turis circiter 18 in segmenti longitudine), lateribus 

 (superne visis) leviter arcuatis antice sat fortiter deplan- 

 atis, angulis anticis sat acutis sat productis posticis 

 (superne visis) rectis, basi bisinuata, margine basali ad 

 latera perspicue magis elevato ; elytris subfortiter sat 

 crebre punctnlatis (trans elytron puncturis circiter 25), 

 interstitio subsuturali sat fortiter convexo ; pygidio sat 

 crebre minus fortiter punctulato ; coxis posticis quam 

 metasternum multo brevioribus, quam segmentum ven- 

 trale 2""^ sat longioribus ; femoribus posticis int«r series 

 subtiliter sat sparsim punctulatis ; tibiis anticis extus tri- 

 dentatis ; tarsorum posticorum articulo basali quam 2"s 

 manifeste breviori, 3° sat sequali (vel vix longiori) ; un- 

 guiculis appendiculatis. Long., 5f l.«: lat., 2f 1. 

 Structurally near H. obe<<2/s, Burm., but of much nar- 

 rower and more elongate build, with the subsutural inter- 

 stice of the elytra quite strongly convex (in obesns that inter- 

 stice is unusually flat), also with puncturation of elytra 

 closer, etc. I think both sexes are before me, judging by the 

 flatter ventral segments of what I take to be the male, which 

 also has tarsi a little longer and more slender. The strong 

 expansion of the lateral margin of the pronotum at the front 

 angles is a striking character (which however is present in 

 H obesus also). The pilosity of the elytra is ver}^ little 

 noticeable except in quite fresh specimens.
