developed on the two posterior pairs.

This species is not unlike B. nileiis (the type of Germar's 

 genus) but, besides other characters, it differs structurally in 

 its non 'davate femora, and the nearly obsolete horizontal spur 

 (or uncus) of its tibiae. Baris as it stands at present , is a group 

 of many genera, two of which has been indicated by Lacor- 

 daire. This and the preceding species seem to have tlie claws 

 connate at the base.
