Besides the character noted in the tabulation as dis- 

 tinguishing this species from H. montanus, its clypeus is not 

 emarginate in front (in montanus feebly so), its elytral punc- 

 tures are smaller and more numerous and of the squamosa 

 form (in montanus about 25 across an elytron, and not 

 squamose), and the basal piece of its claws is less widely com- 

 pressed. The trilobed outline of the head is feebly developed 

 and not divided, the middle lobe scarcely smaller than a 

 lateral lobe. In montanus the trilobed outline is notably 

 better developed and is distinctly divided. A Het crony x 

 from Queensland, in my collection, which has lost its hind 

 claws and, therefore, cannot be confidently placed, is probably 

 somewhat close to this species.
