description: <i>Hermerius howei</i> (Thomson, 1864) (Figs. 10 E–G, 11G, 18B) <i>Arimaspes howei</i> Thomson, 1864: 302. TL: Lord Howe Island. Holotype in MNHN (examined). <i>Cnemoplites</i> (<i>Hermerius</i>) <i>intermedia</i> Wilson, 1923: 132. syn. nov. TL: Grenfell, New South Wales. Holotype in MV (examined). <i>Cnemoplites</i> (<i>Hermerius</i>) <i>howei</i>: Lammere, 1903a: 46; 1919: 40; McKeown, 1947: 9. <i>Hermerius intermedia</i>: Jin et al. 2020: xxx. <b> <i>Diagnosis</i>.</b> Males of <i>H. howei</i> can be separated from other <i>Hermerius</i> species by the entire dorsum, including head, pronotum and elytra completely covered with relatively long golden hairs. Female of this species can be separated to other <i>Hermerius</i> species by the pronotum with moderately smooth area medially, the posterior angles blunt and the prosternum relatively glabrous. <b> <i>Types</i>.</b> <i>Arimaspes howei</i> Thomson, Holotype male deposited in MNHN, with the following labels “ Arimaspes Thoms., s.c.301, n.pr.| howei Thoms. Type 302, Lord Howe’s Is. | Th. TYPE”. <i>Cnemoplites</i> (<i>Hermerius</i>) <i>intermedia</i> Wilson, Holotype male in MV, with the following labels “Moorilla, Grenfell, NSW, T.G.

Based our material and continuous observations conducted by Australian Museum (C. Reid, pers. comm.) on Lord Howe Island <i>Agrianome howei</i> and <i>Howea angulata</i> were only two Prioninae species taken from the Island.
