The difference between the sexes appears very shc^ht, 

 the (presnmed) male liaving the club of the antenna a very 

 little broader and more compact and all the tibiae a trifle 

 wider and more curved.

Hah. Borneo, W. Sarawak : Quop (G. E. Bryant, 

 March). 



Mr. Bryant found only a single specimen of this species, 

 which is nearly related to B. cocmiella, but a little larger, 

 with the pronotum more finely, and the elytra more closely, 

 punctured. The sides of the pronotum are much straighter, 

 diverging strongly to the base, where the angles are sharply 

 produced. The coloration is similar to that of B. coccinella, 

 but the pronotum is dark in the median part and broadly 

 yellow at the sides, and the anterior orange patch of the 

 elytra is not produced towards the base, but forms a short 

 transverse bar, broader at its inner end and gradually 

 narrowing towards tlfe side, which it does not reach. The 

 posterior patch is rather more regularly rounded than in 

 the other species.
