 size and narrow frons.

 of the vertex strongly elevated; median carina of the frons strongly 

 elevated, the intermediate carine strongly arched basally, gradually 

 converging anteriorly ; nasal process not produced, broadly rounded 

 anteriorly ; anterior border of the pronotum broadly rounded, the pos- 

 terior border narrowly and shallowly sinuate. Mesonotum but little 

 longer than pronotum, none of the carinae strongly elevated ; wings 

 coarsely rugose.

 terior tarsi a little rusty. 



Length, apex of head to apex of abdomen 1.90 mm.

This is the smallest species known to me. It is very close to B. 

 tristis Stal but seems to be distinct.
