Very similar inform and sculpture to B. msidiosa; the 

 anterior border of the shoulders is more distinctly con- 

 cave, the dilated limb of the elytra is metallic green 

 beneath, and the fulvo-rufous patch is longer, extending 

 upwards nearly to the base of the limb.

The antennse in my specimens are unfortunately 

 broken, but the four lower joints are more slender than 

 in any of the other known species of the genus, the third 

 joint is more than three times the length of the fourth. 

 Thorax much narrower than the elytra, narrowed and 

 subcylindrical in front, transversely convex at the base, 

 basal half and sides coarsely and almost rugosely punctate, 

 middle portion of the anterior disc distantly punctured. 

 Elytra broader and shorter than in A. (V Orhignyi, punc- 

 tured in a similar manner, yellow ; their apical fourth, a 

 patch on the humeral callus, a second near the suture
