Aterpus cultratuSj Fab., and A. horrens^ Bois., may be taken 

 as representatives of two types of form in the genus ; this 

 rather common species will furnish another.

These two species may be placed near B. granulosa, Fhs. ; 

 the first may be distinguislied by its rough foveated elytra, 

 and the second by the interstices being all more or less equally 

 elevated. The following differs in colour and in the peculiar 

 character of the rostrum.
