This species was first described by Stimpson from the island 

 of Oshima. No specimen came under my observation. 



" Subdepressum; capite auriculis sat brevibus, fronte arcuata. 

 Corpus supra fulvum, maculis nigris confertis, fascia mediana 

 palhda nigro-marginata; auricularum marginibus posterioribus 

 nigris. OcelU valde numerosi in acervum arcuatum frontalem 

 submarginalem. Long. 3 poll. (76 mm.); corporis lat. 0-2 poll (5 

 mm.); capitis lat. 0-3 poll. (7-6 mm.)" 



The present species seems to be nearly allied to B. ceres 

 MosELEY (45) from Ceylon, as described by von Graff.

This new species is represented by two individuals, one of 

 which was secured by the late Professor I.tima in 1890 at Sakata, 

 Prov. Ohmi, and the other by myself in July. 191(3, on the stone 

 wall of the Mii Temple in Otsu. 



The head in the living state is of a semi-lunar shape and a 

 great deal wider than the trunk, from which it is distinctly marked 

 off by a neck-like narrowing. The trunk is almost uniformly broad 

 in the greater part of its length, but gradually tapei"ing in the hind 

 parts down to the bluntly pointed posterior extremity. Extending 

 from the neck to the hind end of the body, in the mid-ventral 

 surface, is the sole, which is scarcely raised above the general level 

 and rather less than one-third the width of the trunk. The speci- 

 men is 50 mm. long, the greatest breadth, at about the middle 

 of the trunk, is 2 mm., and the head measures 6 mm. across. 



The ground colour of the dorsal surface is a bluish gray with 

 a touch of black. Medially are three black stripes which run 

 throughout the whole length of the body. Of those the median 

 stripe extends over the head and loses itself gradually in the
