Some remarks on the characters of this species will be 



found under the preceding (H. cornutus). It differs from 



H. cornutus by larger size, the very dissimilar puncturation 



of its dorsal surface, its clypeus not passing the outline of the 



eye laterally, its front tibiae with only two external teeth, the 



apical piece of its hind claws notably longer, etc. The shape 



of the pseudo-horn of its clypeus is fan-shaped, being (when 



viewed obliquely along the head from behind) much narrower 



at the base than the apex, which has a convex outline, the 



pseudo-horn of cornutus having sides almost parallel and apex 



sub truncate.

 The unusual length of the basal joint of the intermediate 

 tarsi renders this species very distinct from the two others 

 having the clypeus laminated, and its laminated clypeus dis- 

 tinguishes it from all the rest of the genus. It is nearly
