The only specimens I possess of this fine species were found i 
Dr. Power in Surrey.

This insect is very closely allied to H. melanarius, but is sm- 
narrower, and more depressed, with the elytra much duller, m 
sparingly and finely punctured, and not quite so destitute of pul 
cence. The outline of the elytra is continued by the thorax aim 
without interruption. The elytra have only indistinct traces 
two lines of other punctures. The greater dullness of the upper s 
face arises from its being more finely and more densely coriacec 
The female is rather duller than the male.

Antennae rather long, tlie two or three basal joints reddish, the others mor 
less pitchy. Head pitchy-black, almost impunctate. The thorax black, with 
extreme sides reddish, the sides but little narrowed towards the front, coriacei 
the middle parts impunctate, the punctnvcs towards the sides not fine, but 
deep. The angle formed by the junction of the thorax and elytra about as in 
melanocephalus. The elytra are narrow and elongate, almost without pnbescei 
distinctly, moderately closely punctm-ed, the punctures at margins and apex 
distinct ; each of them with two longitudinal rows of points ; the anterior four ] 
reddish, the posterior pitchy -red. 
A single specimen found by me at Eannoch, in Perthshire. 
Distinct from the preceding by its narrower and more elong 
form, longer and darker antennae, as well as by the punctured lines 
the elytra and other characters. Somewhat resembling in form i
