which is devoid of a distinct membranous boxxler ; they are finely 
but strongly, and not closely punctured ; they have scarcely any 
pubescence, but the specimen before me may possibly be abraded. 
The metasternum and hind coxfe are rather sparingly (especially in 
the middle) and strongly punctured, — the ventral segments much 
more closely. The ventral series are fairly defined, consisting of 
fine long hairs. The hind coxte are much shorter than the meta- 
sternum, and evidently longer on the external margin than the 
second ventral segment. The hind femora are not much wider, 
but very much longer than the intermediate with the inner apical 
angle very feeble. The tibite are long and slender. 
Evidently allied to H. gracilipes, but at once distinguishable^ 
inter alia, by the triangularly emarginate clypeus, difi'erently 
shaped labrum, and almost impunctate head and prothorax.

The structure of the head, clypeus and labrum scarcely differs 
from that in H. Ueviceps, except that the clypeal suture is marked 
by a fine elevated line, which is angulated in the middle ; the 
entire head, however, is closely and rather strongly punctulate. 
The prothorax, also, scarcely differs from that of the same species 
except in being slightly more transverse and closely and rather 
strongly (not quite so .strongly as the head) punctured. The 
elytra are very closely and rather finely punctured with much 
very fine transver.se wrinkling ; they are decidedly narrow and 
elongate, their apices somewhat truncate ; they have no striaj 
except (in .some examples) some indication of a sutural stria ; the 
lateral fringe is not continued in any cons[)icuous manner round 
the apex which has no distinct meml)ranous boi dei’. The pygidiuni
