Besides the distinctive characters indicated in the tabu- 

 lation it may be noted that this species differs from most of 

 the nearly allied species (as will be seen by comparing the 

 descriptions) by the decidedly less numerous punctures of its 

 pronotum. The trilobed outline of the head is well developed 

 and is divided (but not strongly), its middle lobe just about 

 half a lateral lobe in size

It is noticeable that in this species the punctures of both 

 the head and the elytra are quite conspicuously larger than 

 those of the pronotum. The general resemblance to H. vagans 

 is considerable, but even apart from the dorsal sculpture the 

 much longer 3rd antennal joint of vagans furnishes a satis- 

 factory distinction. The trilobed outline is well developed 

 and divided, the middle lobe very narrow (scarcely a third of 

 a lateral lobe in size).
