I quote only such synonymy as concerns our region, and even some of this is not 
perfectly ascertained. Fabricius gave no locality for B. barbicornis, and I doubt 
whether his description applies to this species, but in the Munich Catalogue® the 
Fabrician name is recorded as a synonym thereof, and Mexico added as the habitat. 
The North-American B. sinuatus, Fahr., is also given® as another synonym, but this 
likewise appears doubtful. 
The species is very difficult to locate, as notwithstanding its similarity to B. scu- 
tellaris as to the structure of the legs, it differs much in the elongate ventral rings 
and the oblique pygidium: the femora are canaliculate. 
Only three examples have been obtained in our region. 
§ 6. Size minute, only from 14 to 2 millim. in length; femora not, or only slightly 
incrassate, sometimes simple, their armature slight, at most a small tooth and two 
denticles. 
As compared with Group §2 the members of the group I am now defining are 
distinguished by their still smaller size and diminished femoral structure; but these 
characters are not very definite, and the two groups are only separated for convenience 
of reference, as each contains a considerable number of species.
