Broadly subovate, covered with a slightly glossy greyish squa- 

 mosity, or with minute scales ; head broad, over each eye an 

 angular superciliary ridge ; rostrum short, four rows of shallow 

 pits posteriorly ; funicle rather short, slender ; prothorax broad 

 and rounded at the sides, convex, and roughly pitted above, the 

 middle with a shallow groove, and a few glossy black granules, 

 more or less united on the deflected sides ; elytra subquadrate, 

 much broader at the base than the prothorax, the sides subparallel, 

 each elytron with three rows of mostly mammilliform contiguous 

 tubercles, the inner row towards the base of a few oblong slightly 

 raised tubercles or merely a raised line, the intermediate and outer 

 rows commencing near the base, the largest tubercle at the 

 shoulder, the intervals irregularly and closely pitted, the deflected 

 sides with mostly very large and approximate pits, the declivity 

 with a row of smaller tubercles, a continuation of the inner row; 

 body beneath with a dull greyish squamosity, second abdominal 

 segment marked off from the first by a very distinct suture ; legs 

 with whitish scales and dotted with black setae. 



Compared with B. buccellaria this species has con- 

 tiguous and larger tubercles, coarser foveae, and on the 

 shoulders a rounded and prominent callus-like tubercle.
