punctured. The elytral strla3 are all distinct, from the 
base to tlie apex, all the dorsal ones, excciit the 7th, being 
very strongly impressed and punctured ; the yellow lunate 
spot is subapical, the apex itself being of the ground- 
colour. The basal joints of the antennre and palpi are 
red ; the legs a dingy reddish. 
B. (^Pej'yplms) Hiogoense, n. sp. 
B. tibiale jiroxime affine, differt tibiis et -tarsis nigris. 
Depressum, nigro-a?neum, antennarum scapo subtus rufo ; 
thoracc quadrato, angulls anticis conspicuis rectis, posticc 
modicc angustato, angulis posticis vix prominulus ; clytris 
profunde punctidato-striatis, stria 3'" bifoveata. 
Long. 2^ lin. 
Hiogo, sandy places. Also on the beach at Kobe. 
There is no ditference apparent between this species and 
the European B. tibiale, except in the colour of the legs. 
The head has the same broad frontal furrows ; the thorax 
is less narroAved behind ; the hind angles are rather less 
prominent, and the sharp fold near each angle is longer 
and more conspicuous. The elytra have the stria3 much 
more strongly marked near the apex. The legs are wholly 
brassy-black, except in immature specimens, where they 
arc of a uniform brown. The palpi and antenna3 are 
black, except the imderside of the scape, Avhich is reddish. 
It is closely allied to B. Gebleri (ILsch.) (= calcstiiinin, 
IMotsch. ?), which has a shorter and broader thorax and is 
a considerably smaller insect.

Of similar narrow, elongate shape to B. decorum, sur-
