expunded outAvardly towards its I'xtremity, where it is twice as l)road 

 as the 9th; 6th small, scai'cely longer than broad, attached to the inner 

 extremity of the 5th; 7th bead-like and ratlier broadt'r than contiguous 

 ones; 9th moderately large, subtriangulai-, liardly l)i-oade)- tlian tlie Stli 

 at its base, quite as large as the pi-eceding two conil)iii<Ml ; lOtli sulxivate, 

 rather longer and evidently broader tlian the penultimate. 



Undei-side nitid, fusco-rufous, sparingly and finely pulici-eent. 

 Anterior coxae acutely pi'ominent ; the troelianters witli small spines. 

 Metasternum depressed along the niiddle, more narrowly in t'l-onl than 

 behind. Second abdominal segment witli a pair of moderate, subcon- 

 titruous tul:>ercles, the 6th with a shallow transverse median fovea. 



B. anisnrfhra may be separated at once by its ([uite oblong, 

 enormously developed 5th autennal joint. In B. hir/si the cf)rrespond- 

 ing joint, though relatively large, does not exceed the 9th in l)ulk. 

 The present species differs from both of tliese in many details, and'inay 

 be distiiiguislie(l by the latei'al dilatation of the eoiis]>icuous 5th joint of 

 the antennae.

Subovate, irregularly narrowed anteriorly, moderately convex, nitid, 

 impunctate; fusco-rufous, elytia of a lirighter red, tarsi and j)alpi 

 flave.scent ; clothed, but not thickly, with long and slendei- upright yellow 

 setae. 



Head moderately elongate and parallel in front, genae pubescent and 

 distinctly narrowed behind, the occiput scarcely as wide as the thoi-acic 

 apex ; frontal channel well marked, ending in line with the front of the 

 eyes, oeulai' foveae distinct. Eyes moderately large and very prominent 

 Thorax about a third longer than broad, slightly contracted at the apex, 

 a little wider before the middle than elsewliere, with a curvate impres- 

 sion near the base united to an elongate fovea at each side. Elytra 

 broad, curvedly narrowed towards the base, hardly any broader there 

 than the thorax, and alxjut a tliird longer than it is; they are convex 

 behind the middle, with di.stinct sutuial sti-iae which are deeply foveate 

 at the base; intrahumeral impiessions broad, deep and foveiforni at 

 the base, tapering and obsolete behind the middle. Hind-body of about 

 the same length as tite wing-cases, curvidlv nanowed and deflexed 

 posteriorly, convex along the middle. 



Legs long and moderately slendei-, pubescent ; anterioi- tibiae almost 

 straight, intermediate somewhat curved below the middle; the posterior 

 armed inwardly, just below the middle, with a triangular spiniform 

 process, and below that point somewhat curved inwardly. 



Antennae longer than the head and thorax, rufo-testaceous, with 

 infuscate pubescence; basal joint stout, cylindric, fully double the length 

 of the oWong 2nd, the next not quite as- thick but ratlier longer, 4th

 about twice as long as broad, 7th shoiter, yet longer than broad, 8th 

 smallest, transverse; 9th and 10th sul)e((ual, laxly articulateil, sub-
