OBS. Especie intermedia entre la II. festiva Sp. de la India Oriental y la H. cincta F. del Senegal y Sierra Leona, y más próxima à la primera por la forma de la cabeza que es mucho más larga que el pronoto, pero en la especie nueva es al mismo tiempo poco estrecha por delante, y el vèrtice no es agudo, en lo que se distingue de la II. festiva Sp., así como por la coloracion de las patas y por las manchas del área mar- ginal de los élitros.

OBS. Intermediate species between II. festiva Sp. from East India and H. cincta F. from Senegal and Sierra Leone, and closer to the former because of the shape of the head, which is much longer than the pronotum, but in the new species it is at the same time little narrow in front, and the vertex is not acute, in what is distinguished from the II. festiva Sp., as well as by the coloration of the legs and by the spots in the marginal area of the elytra.
