The fine raised edging of the elytra is as in H. in con- 

 spicuus, Blackb., from which the present species differs by 

 numerous characters, especially the shape of the pro- 

 thorax. If the prothorax be looked at from a 

 point above, and a little in front of, the lateral 

 margin (so that the whole lateral outline is visible) it 

 will be seen that the point whence the curve begins to con- 

 verge towards the apical angle and towards the extremity 

 of the base is scarcely nearer to the base than to the apex, 

 while in inconspicuus it is considerably nearer to the base. 

 The trilobed outline of the head is very feeble and scarcely 

 divided, the middle lobe fully two-thirds of a lateral lobe in 

 size. This species is very like H . concolor, Macl., from which 

 it differs by its form longer and more cylindric, the punc- 

 turation of its elytra closer and subasperate, its claws norm- 

 ally appendiculate, etc.
