Difïers from ail other species by the striking colour of the con- 

 nexival segments which hâve a pale whitish green spot Connecting 

 the two black spots, the anterior of which is wedge shaped, 

 turning its apex forward. AUied to B. prœloufj iras tris Bf:rgr., but 

 the antennes are unicolorous, their second joint shorter, the latéral 

 margin of the pronotiim and of the basai part of the corium as well 

 as the tibiœ and the tarsi are pale carmine-red, and the pale cal lus 

 at the basai angles of the scutellum does not encircle the black pit 

 but is situated behind it. 



Bathycœlia conferenda Bergr. — This species was described 

 from an old spécimen with obscured colouring. In fresh spécimens 

 the ground-colour is olive-green, the whole legs and the three 

 first anteimal joints (except the broadly black apex of the third 

 joint) are of a beaatiful clear sea-green colour. The large oblong 

 black pit at the basai angles of the scutellum is transversely divided 

 by two ridges.
