Elytra a good deal broader than, but about as long as the 

 thorax, transverse with close and coarser granular sculpture 

 than on the fore-parts except for a space adjacent to the 

 middle of the posterior border which is shining and more 

 sparingly granulate. Abdomen very shining, the bases of the 

 first 3 \'isible segments a little constricted and strongly 

 transversely impressed, the bases of the first 4 visible segments 

 each with a transverse row of very fine and well separated 

 punctures, 5th and 6th segments with a few fine scattered 

 punctures, very sparingly pubescent. 



cf { ? ). 8th dorsal segment narrowed and crescentically 

 emarginate.

Convex, broad, robust, shining rufo-testaceous, the elytra 

 scarcely infuscate posteriorly. Antennap black, the first 3 

 joints and the last, testaceous. Legs testaceous. Length 3 

 mm. Very similar in size, build and antennal structure to 

 B. reyi Shp., but the elytra are less closely punctured and 

 the abdomen more densely and finely punctured. Head 

 transverse, extremely finely and very sparingly punctured, 

 eyes large, temples short. Antennse with the first 3 joints 

 slender and elongate, the 3rd a little shorter than '2nd. 4th a 

 little broader, about as long as broad, 5th to 9th stouter, all 

 a little longer than broad, gradually decreasing in length, 10th 

 about as long as broad, 11th elongate, oval. Thorax strongly 

 transverse, widest at the middle, the sides rounded, more 

 narrowed in front, posterior angles rounded, extremely finely 

 and sparingly punctured and with sparse rather coarse yellow 

 pubescence. Elytra scarcely as long as but wider than the 

 thorax, transverse, closely, finely subasperately punctured and 

 with pubescence as on thorax. Abdomen a little narrowed 

 behind, finely and closely punctured and pubescent throughout. 



Sungei Tutau, with Ants, one specimen.

Shining bronze-blark, elytra testaceous (with brassy reflex 

 in certain lights), the postero-external angles more or less 

 infuscate. Abdomen black, the first two visible segments 

 clear yellow. Antenna long, black, the first 3 joints 

 testaceous. Legs testaceous. Length 3 nmi. I place this
