The electronic band structures of HgTe and HgSe have been calculated using the relativistic Green's function method. The results are compared to reflectivity data. Particular care was taken to calculate the details of the band structure in the vicinity of the band gap. A valence band overlap is found which is in agreement with the estimate given by Vérié.
