Readily distinguished by the truncated appearance of the 
tip of the elytra/from H. aeneus, ¥. which has the elytra 
decidedly sinuate at tip and even abruptly so. 
7.‘ H. ocreatiis^ Elack-green; impuoclured; feet pale- 
yellowish. 
Inhab. Mexico. 
Body very dark green 9 impiinctured : head blacky with 
hardly any appearance of green ; antennm honey-yellow^ 
the joints^ excepting the first and second, with darker cen- 
tres : falfi and base of the mandibles honey-yellow: la- 
brum with a slight projecting angle in the middle of the 
emargination : thorax blackish-green, hardly narrower at 
base; dorsal line indistinct, but more obvious in the middle; 
basal indentations dilated not profound ; lateral edge dull 
honej -yellow ; posterior angles obtocse: elytra obviously 
tinged with green; a little wider at base than the thorax c 
strisB very slender, irapunctiired; interstitial spaces flat, third 
space with a puncture at three-fosirths the length from the 
base ; lateral edge near the tip and suture near the tip ob- 
scurely piceous; tip deeply and rather obtusely sinuous: 
beneath h\^ck^ the greenish tinge hardly perceptible: feet 
yellowish; tarsi rather darker; first joint of the anterlors 
of the male somewhat smaller than the second, these tarsi 
have beneath close set hairs. 
Length over seven- twentieths of an inch. 
This species has almost the Amara like form of some 
species of Anisodactylus, in which genus I should have 
placed the species but for the angle in the emargination of 
the meiitura. It is very closely allied to terminatus, Say, 
but is rather more robust, the head and thorax are differ- 
ently coloured, the posterior lateral margin is more depress- 
ed, &c. It must resemble closely II. a^ilis^ Dej. of which it 
may possibly be a variety. 
It was obtained by Wni. Eeimett, and presented to me 
by Mr. Maclure.
