The type of the genus is H. planata, L., an insect which 

 seems to be well distributed over Europe; but Reitter's 

 opinion as to its identity with H. humeralis, Fald., from 

 the Caucasus, has not yet been confirmed. Closely related 

 to it is the North American H. dubia, F. Captain Casey 

 mentions the Southern States of North America as the 

 habitat of this, and IT. debilis, Lee, as the representative 

 of it in the North-Eastern States. The latter however 

 was described by Leconte from a southern state, Georgia, 

 while Gemminger's catalogue strangely attributes it to 

 California. A specimen in the British Museum from 

 Pennsylvania seems to represent the form described by 

 Casey, while there are examples of IT. dubia from British 

 Columbia and Lake Erie. Although Captain Casey 

 appears to have had access to Leconte's collection, I can- 

 not satisfy myself as to the identity of his H. debilis with
