  Female 
  : 
  I 
  do 
  not 
  know 
  the 
  female, 
  which, 
  according 
  to 
  Bur- 
  

   meister, 
  has 
  the 
  pygidium 
  covered 
  with 
  greyish 
  hairs.

  This 
  species 
  somewhat 
  resembles 
  H. 
  lugcns 
  ; 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  

   femora 
  is 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  broadly 
  

   scooped 
  underneath, 
  the 
  inner 
  tooth 
  is 
  set 
  more 
  in 
  the 
  middle, 
  the 
  

   mucro 
  is 
  shorter, 
  there 
  is 
  an 
  apical 
  spur 
  which 
  is 
  wanting 
  in 
  

   H. 
  lugcns, 
  and 
  the 
  spine 
  of 
  the 
  trochanters 
  is 
  much 
  shorter.

  Male 
  : 
  Black, 
  with 
  the 
  elytra 
  light

  infuscate 
  laterally; 
  

   scutellum, 
  apical 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  elytra, 
  pygidial 
  part

   clothed

  and

  covered 
  

   with 
  very 
  dense 
  sub- 
  flavescent 
  villose 
  hairs, 
  the 
  clypeus 
  is 
  con- 
  

   spicuously 
  tri-dentate, 
  but 
  the 
  median 
  tooth 
  is 
  blunter 
  than 
  the 
  

   lateral 
  ones; 
  elytra 
  not 
  distinctly 
  costulate, 
  clothed 
  with 
  appressed 
  not 
  

   very 
  closely 
  set 
  slightly 
  flavescent 
  hairs 
  ; 
  pectus, 
  abdomen, 
  and 
  legs 
  

   villose, 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  red; 
  the 
  hind 
  femora 
  are 
  robust; 
  the 
  hind 
  tibiae 
  

   are 
  dilated, 
  broadly 
  excavated 
  underneath 
  near 
  the 
  base, 
  the 
  inner 
  

   margin 
  is 
  bluntly 
  dentate 
  at 
  a 
  short 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  knee, 
  and 
  the 
  

   outer 
  is 
  distinctly 
  emarginate 
  at 
  the 
  base, 
  they 
  are 
  mucronate 
  on 
  

   each 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  apex, 
  the 
  mucros 
  are 
  of 
  nearly 
  equal 
  length, 
  but 
  not 
  

   very 
  long, 
  and 
  the

  one 
  bears 
  an

  spec. 
  

  

  Male 
  : 
  Black, 
  with 
  the 
  elytra 
  and 
  legs 
  chocolate-brown, 
  and 
  the 
  

   anterior 
  legs 
  redder 
  ; 
  the 
  facies 
  and 
  vestiture 
  are 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  

   H. 
  pulverosus, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  much 
  smaller, 
  and 
  the 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  

   tibiae 
  is 
  different 
  ; 
  the 
  spine 
  of 
  the 
  trochanters 
  is 
  hardly 
  discernible, 
  

   the 
  hind 
  femora 
  are 
  moderately 
  thickened, 
  and 
  have 
  a 
  sharp 
  swelling 
  

   inwardly, 
  but 
  they 
  are 
  not 
  scooped 
  underneath, 
  and 
  not 
  at 
  all 
  

   mucronate 
  at 
  apex, 
  the 
  apical 
  spur 
  is 
  small, 
  but 
  distinct 
  ; 
  the 
  claw 
  of 
  

   the 
  intermediate 
  legs 
  is 
  double, 
  but 
  the 
  smaller 
  one 
  is 
  extremely 
  

   small 
  ; 
  the 
  hind 
  claws 
  are 
  missing 
  in 
  the 
  only 
  example 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  

   seen.
