aciculated ; the clypeiis shining, impunctate in the centre. 
Pro- and metanotum punctured like the head, the scutellum 
somewhat stronger and the metanotum still more strongly 
except on the projecting sides, where the punctuation is 
closer and liner than on the mesothorax ; the hollow on the 
side of prothorax large, shining, striolated, the hollow on 
the hinder part of the mesopleurae is also striolated, and 
shallower than that on the propleurse; sternum rather 
weakly punctured. Abdomen finely and closely punctured, 
if anything weaker laterally; the apex entire, fringed with 
white hair. The anterior femora and tibiae are dull metallic 
green, finely punctured, the tarsi are fuscous; the hind 
femora are dull black ; the tibiae are green, strongly 
punctured and densely pilose ; the hind tarsi black, fuscous 
at the apices of the joints. Upper median cellule bluntly 
acute at the apex, reaching to the commencement of the 
radius. 
All the coxse are metallic green, the hinder closely 
punctured, the anterior more shining and more sparsely 
punctured ; the spurs are testaceous, the claws blackish. 
Length, 8 mm. 
Very nearly related to H. lucidum; differing from it in 
the head, thorax, and antennse being almost glabrous ; in the 
more slender antennse; in the pro thorax being longer com- 
pared to the part of mesothorax in front of the scutellum, in 
the projecting hinder edge of the metanotum being stouter, 
in the abdomen being longer compared to the thorax, in the 
fifth tarsal joint being as long as the preceding joints united ; 
in the second joint being about one half longer than the 
third, and in the thorax being entirely green.
