Body oblong or elongate, depressed : head somewhat largo or some- 

 what so produced, apical margin acute, more or less broadly foliaceous : 

 face dilated, somewhat deejjly sinuated below the eyes ; frons a little 

 convex : eyes small or moderate : ocelli placed on the apical margin of 

 the head or at or near the eyes : thorax transverse, very obtusely round- 

 ed at the apex : scutellum triangular, a little broader than long : tegmi-

Reported from E. India. Signoret considers this species to be probably 

 one with H. parva, Walker (List iii, p. 828), though he gives the latter 

 also with a ? as a synonym possibly of H. paykidli, Stal, who, however, 

 makes it a 8elenoce]jlialus in Of vers. K. V.-A. Forh. p. 494 (1862).

 the tegmina and the veins of the same colour but with a brown line on 

 each side. Head defined on the margin only, one and half times longer 

 than the prothorax, as long as broad between the eyes, angularly round- 

 ed, the sides almost parallel above the eyes, then forming an angle 

 at the tip ; two excavations on the vertex on each side. Frons convex 

 with a foliaceous border anteriorly, grooved on the sides, border con- 

 cave above the clypeus which is itself broader at the base than at the 

 tips but showing its greatest breadth in the middle, carinate in its 

 median part. Rostrum very short. Genas with the tip oblique from the
