 The form of the clypeus is unusual, the middle appearing 

 as if a small piece had been obliquely (from the dorsal sur- 

 face downward and forward) sliced off, and the marginal 

 edging following the outline of the truncature so formed. The 

 front of the pronotum bears a fringe of long erect hairs ; this 

 is, I think, a character of some importance, but its value is 

 discounted for practical purposes by the ease with which the 

 hairs are rubbed off, so that it is difficult to be sure that their 

 absence is not accidental unless one is sure that the specimen 

 examined is not abraded. The trilobed outline of the head 

 is strongly developed and strongly divided, the middle lobe a 

 little less than half of a lateral lobe in size.

Easily distinguishable by the characters cited in the tabu- 

 lation. Rather close to H . humilis, but differing by (in addi- 

 tion to the character cited in the tabulation) its prothorax 

 much less narrowed in front (so that the segment looks more 

 transverse, to a casual glance), its clypeus normally emar- 

 ginate in front, its longer hind coxae, etc. The trilobed out-
