H. ferrugineus, capite, thoraceque saturatioribus, capite nudius- 



culo inter antennas et oculos linea elevata; thoracis spinis

Allied to H. obesus, with which it agrees in size and look : 

 the antennae joints are thinner and more slender in the male, and 

 are not black at the tips ; the elytra are ferruginous, with a very 

 slight pubescence scarcely tinging the ferruginous, whereas in 

 the H. obesus the elytra are thickly clothed with a brownish grey 

 pubescence which quite invests them.
