In some respects not unlike the species that I have regard- 

 ed as being //. nigricans, Burm., but readily distinguishable 

 from it by, inter alia, its longer hind coxae and the much larger 

 and less close punctures of its elytra. Each elytron has faint 

 indications of two longitudinal costae.

This very small species has much the appearance to a 

 casual glance of a dwarf H. tranzversicollis. Macl., but differs 

 from it also by, inter alia, the very much wider and more 

 prominent middle lobe (labrum) of the trilobed outline of its 

 head (in transversicollis not more than half a lateral lobe) 

 and the closer puncturation of its elytra.
