At first I mistook this beautiful insect for B. equestris Fabr. ; 
but the terms—Corpus æneum—sterno parum porrecto—Elytra 
punctorum duorum par, by no means agreed with it: and when I 
further compared it with Olivier's B. hemorrhoidalis, to which Fa- 
bricius refers as synonymous with his B. equestris, Iwas fully con- 
vinced that they were distinct species; since from Olivier's figure 
E appears ihat: D. hamorrhoidalis is. little more than half the “se 
of this abdomen are red, whereas fir the latter they are ireen".
