59. B. recticolle. Depressum, nigro-aeneum nitidum, thorace quad- 

 rato latitudine vix breviore, lateribus antice rotundatis postice fere 

 parallelis, angulis posticis rectis subtiliter carinatis, linea dorsali tenui, 

 impressionibus transversis profundis, fovea utrinque basali bistriata et

ISTew Mexico ; Mr. Ulke. This species is allied to B. salebratum 

 and quadrulum ; from the first it differs by the square thorax, and 

 from the second by the more deeply impressed and more densely 

 punctured elytral striae. 



60. B. nebraskense. Depressum, nigrum pernitidum, tborace lati- 

 tudine plus sesqui breviore postice angnstato, lateribus antice magis 

 rotundatis postice obliquis, angulis posticis obtusis hand rotundatis 

 carinatis, linea dorsali tenui, impressionibus trausversis profundis, ad 

 basin punctato et utrinque profunde foveato; elytris striis tenuibus 

 punctulatis, externis fere obliteratis, tertia bipunctata, basi late emargi- 

 natis, humeris rotundatis. Long. -18. 



Nebraska, near the Rocky Mountains; a specimen kindly given 

 me by Mr. Ulke. This species belongs to the same section with 

 B. complanulum, incertum, &c., from Russian America, but differs 

 from all others in my collection by the elytral striae being finely 

 punctulate, and by the thorax being more narrowed behind, with 

 the basal angles distinctly obtuse. In appearance it bears a strong 

 resemblance to a Blechrus. 



61. B. obtusangtilum. Supra obscure aeneum nitidum, tborace 

 snbconvexo latitudine breviore, postice vix angustiore, lateribus late 

 rotundatis, angulis posticis obtusis vix brevissime carinatis, linea dor- 

 sali tenui, impressione transversa antica mediocri, postica profunda, ad 

 basin utrinque breviter bistriato et parce punctato, elytris oblongo-oval- 

 ibus, subdepressis, tenuiter striato-punctatis, interstitio 3io bipunctato; 

 subtus, antennis pedibusque aeneo-nigris. Long. -20. 



Nebraska, near the Rocky Mountains; Mr. Ulke. A very dis- 

 tinct species, belonging to the section Notaphus; the striae are all 

 entire, though the outer ones are less impressed towards the tip. 



62. B. in or ilium. Convexum, aeneo-nigrum nitidum, thorace lati- 

 tudine sesqui breviore postice angustato, lateribus rotundatis, angulis 

 posticis obtusis vix brevissime carinatis, linea dorsali obsoleta, impres- 

 sione transversa antica mediocri, postica profunda, ad basin utrinque
