broader near the apex than behind it. The distinct punctation of 
the elytra distinguishes this from H. latum.

elytra. Head with a moderately broad interantennal area ex- 
tending down the front and slightly elevated. 
Type. — Male, and 2 paratypes, U. S. N. M. Cat. No. 59203, 
1 paratype in Museum of Comparative Zoology, Type No. 
28244. 
Type locality. — Felton (Oriente Province on Antilla Bay), 
Cuba, collected by W. M. Mann. 
Other localities. — Cayamas, Cuba, E. A. Schwarz, Bah. 
Honda, Cuba, in June by H. F. Wickham.

From 2.4— 2.8 mm. in length, 1.3— 1.5 mm. in width, mod- 
erately convex, without distinct punctures, reddish yellow with 
violaceous elytra. Head with a rather broad interantennal area 
elevated between antennal sockets and extending down the 
short lower front. 
Type-. — Male, and 1 paratype, Museum of Comparative Zool- 
ogy, Type No. 28246; 1 paratype in U. S. N. M. Cat. No. 
59204. ‘ 
Type locality . — Coast below Pico Turquino, collected June 
26-30, 1936, by P. J. Darlington. 
Remarks. — This species although closely related to H. orien- 
tense and H. manni , differs in not having visibly punctate 
elytra. It has a shorter frontal elevation on the head. The aedea- 
gus is not so broad as in manni and broader than in orientense 
with a strongly recurved orificial plate.
