Antlers (fig. 31) small and simple, forming a single 

 dichotomoiis fork, of which the front prong is the smaller, 

 and curves upwards and backwards towards the hind one ; 

 metatarsal gland and tuft absent ; tail short and rather 

 bushy ; face moderately long ; face-glands large and exposed, 

 and gland-pits in skull deep and triangular, although not 

 very large; upper canines present in both sexes, but not 

 projecting beyond lips ; coat coarse and brittle ; size medium ; 

 young uniformly coloured. Other characters much as in 

 two preceding genera. The genus is distinguished by the 

 simply forked antlers, coarse, brittle coat, and absence of 

 metatarsal glands. 



The range includes the western and southern parts of 

 South America. 



The two species appear distinguishable as follows : — 



A. Size larger, a dark Y-shaped iace-stripe, antlers 



usually forking some distance above burr H. hisulcus. 



B. Size smaller, face without distinct dark stripe, 



antlers forking close to burr H. antisensis.
