" The color is sometimes dark brown with lighter streaks near the 

 suture ; sometimes the whole epidermis is made up of fine brown 

 and dull straw-yellow zig-zag streaks ; and others are entirely light 

 brown like B. fulminans. The lip is either leather-colored or flesh- 

 reddish, or whitish with colored edge. The slender form is very 

 near B. subglandiformis."

This species is compared by Reeve to B. pudicus, and it may 

 prove to be allied to that species rather than to the present group.
