Type. No. 6887, U./S. National Museum. 



This species resembles B. sackeni and J3. schwarzi, but is 

 darker than the former and the markings of head and thorax are 

 different from those of either species; the abdomen, too, has 

 luteous bands at middle of segments only, on dorsum not at 

 articulations.
