South Carolina and New York, Dr. Zimmerman. | Piceous, densely covered 
with moderately long, slightly erect yellowish hair. Head densely punctulate ; 
antenne with the basal joints testaceous, the 2d and 3d nearly equal in length 
and thickness, together they are longer than the fourth. Thorax very short, 
densely punctulate, sides margined, scarcely rounded except at the angles. 
Elytra densely punctured, with very faint traces of three elevated lines. Be- 
neath piceous, with the legs paler and femora somewhat obscure. 
8. H. nebulosa, oblongo-ovalis, nigro-picea, parcius griseo-pubescens, 
capite punctulato, thorace obsolete punctulato, lateribus vix rotundatis, sabeon- 
cavis, elytris dense punctatis, testaceis, macula scutellari, sutura postice, mar- 
gineque late infuscatis, antennis fuscis basi pallidis. 2 et 3 equalibus, coniunctis 
4to longioribus, pedibus testaceis, femoribus infuscatis. Long. -10—-11. 
Abundant in the Northern and Middle States. This species is readily distin- 
guished by the punctuation of the thorax being less obvious than that of the 
head, and by the peculiar marking of the elytra, which are punctured as in the 
three preceding species, and entirely destitute of raised lines. It cannot be H. 
padi of Europe, as the 3d joint of the antennz is equal in size and thickness 
fo the 2d. If Guérin did not describe the head of H. obscura as smooth, I 
should refer my specimens to that species. 
9. H. modesta, oblonyo-ovalis, rufo-testacea, dense pubescens, thorace 
capiteque subtilius punctulatis, illo lateribus distinete marginatis, elytris dense 
punctatis, antenuarum articulis 2 et 3 wequalibus, 4to coniunctis lonzioribus.

South Carolina, Dr. Zimmerman. This species resembles the two preceding, 
butis smaller; the head and thorax are equally finely punctulate; the antenne 
have the 3d joint as long and as thick as the 2d. ‘Phe side margin of the thorax 
is distinct and slightly reflexed. 
10. H. pusilla, ovalis, nigro-picea, yriseo-pubescens, capite thoraceque 
punctulatis, hoe lateribus fere rectis, distincte marginatis, elytris sat dense 
punctatis, macula apicali late flava, pedibus testaceis, femoribus infuscatis, 
antennarum basi flava, articulis 2 et 3 coniunctis 4to longioribus, illo crassiore.

Two specimens, Indiana, near Evansville. This species is more regularly 
oval than any of those above described ; the antenne are as in H. fusciceps and 
picea—that is, the 2d joint is evidently thicker than the 3d. 
11. H. collaris, elongato-oblonga, atra nitida, parce pubescens, thorace 
rufo, vix punctulato, lateribus subrotundatis, reflexis, elytris minus dense punc- 
tatis, minime costatis, antennarum articulis 2 et 3 testaceis, equalibus, 4to 
coniunctis longioribus, tibiis tarsisque piceis. Long. °16. 
Guérin, Spec. et Icon. An. Art. No. 9, p. 4. 
Georgia, three specimens. Very distinct from 4. ruficollis, not only by the 
form of the antenne and thorax, but by the coarser punctuation of the elytra. 
The thorax is entirely bright yellow, without any tendency to become dark in 
the middie. The third joint of the antenne is not thinner than the second. 
12. H. bicolor, elongato-oblonga, atra nitida, parce pubescens, thorace 
rufo, parce punctulato, lateribus subrotundatis, latius reilexis, elytris minus 
dense punctatis, minime costatis, antennis basi flavis, articulis 2 et 3 equalibus, 
Ato coniunctis longioribus, pedibus flavis. Long. °15. 
Two specimens, from Georgia. Resembles the preceding, but at first sight 
distinguished by the yellow feet. 
The two following I cannot identify : 
H. obscura Guérin, Spec. et Icon. An. Art. No. 9, p. 4, and H. oblonga 
Guéer. ib. 13. Fresh evidence is required before the European H. variabilis and 
ahs)
