Obs. The figure and description are made from the typical specimen formerly in Lee's 

 Cabinet, described by Eabricius, now in the Cabinet of the Rev. E. W. Hope. Count De 

 Laporte and Dr. Klug appear to have described this species under the name of B. Lazarus.

This species was originally described by Eabricius as a native of North America, from 

 the Collection of Mr. Yeats. His description is too concise of itself to allow of identifica-

 parva Scar, mobilicomis, capitis clypeus emarginatus utrinque sinuatus. Thorax fuscus 

 canaliculars tuberculis tribus, medio transverso. Elytra striata rufa." The figure of the 

 species given by Olivier is also equally insufficient ; it however shows the elytra to have but 

 few striae. His description is, however, more precise, the species being stated to be in the 

 Collection of Mr. Lee. He describes the clypeus as terminated by two " dentelures tres-
