Kiu-Kiang, on the Yang-tsze. 
Extremely near the European T. fulvicollis. The 
head and thorax are precisely similar to those of that 
species ; but the elytra have no trace of striae beyond the 
third or fourth, and those are so faint as to be only visible 
in certain lights ; the sutural and second striae too are very 
faintly irajiressed. The brown belt across the middle of 
the elytra is sometimes dark and better defined, extending 
a little along the suture ; in such specimens the head, 
thorax and extreme apex of the elytra are also dark.

Broader and shorter than B. lunatnm; thorax much 
less narrowed towards the base ; elytral interstices flatter. 
The colour is olivaceous-brassy or coppery, the elytra 
becoming indistinctly pallid (although still metallic) to- 
wards the apex. The antenna? are black, with the scape 
and base of the second and third joints dark red. The 
palpi are black, with the bases red.
