Remarks. Easily distinguishable from H. tinctus(Erichson, 1843)because of their temples greatly shorter than eye longitudinal diameter (longer in tinctus), pronotum more rounded in the fore half and the silver, very dense setation of both head and pronotum. The elytral pattern differs from that of H. tinctusbecause of lateral reddish portion of black fasciae more extended. Hycleus tinctus(Erichson, 1843)( Fig. 5D)
