JANN^IUS. 117 



streak greyish brown ; elytra with the discoidal and subcostal 

 areas with short transverse fuscous brown lines, the costal area 

 hyaline with the margins of the areolets, a transverse fascia before 

 middle and an oblique fascia near apex, fuscous brown ; body 

 beneath and legs brownish ; pronotum with the hood compressed, 

 wedge-shaped, covering base of head, the disk tricarinate, the 

 central carination straight, extending from the vesicle to apex, 

 the lateral carinations short and slightly curved, the apical margin 

 greyish ; the lateral produced areas broad, a little directed 

 upwardly and with their apices distinctly triangularly spinous ; 

 elytra with the costal margin convex, the costal area a little 

 widened posteriorly. 



Length 4 millim. 



Hab. Tenasserim ; Myitta (Doherty). 



Allied to B. dentatus, Fieb., but differing by the shape and 

 triangularly spined apices of the pronotal lateral areas, the shorter 

 lateral carinations to the pronotum, the more regular width and 

 the more convex outer margin to the costal area of the elytra.

Above somewhat uniformly fuscous brown, the produced lateral 

 pronotal areas and costal and sutural areas to the elytra with the 

 interior of the somewhat large areolets greyish white ; antennae 

 fuscous brown, the apical joint mutilated in the two specimens 

 now before me ; elytra with an obscure transverse fuscous brown 

 spot before middle and a more oblique and more obscure spot near 

 apex, the margins of the discoidal and subcostal areas prominent 

 and dark brown ; body beneath dark fuscous brown ; the legs with 

 the femora fuscous brown and the tibiae brownish ochraceous ; 

 the produced pronotal lateral areas resembling those of B. angulatus 

 but with their apices a little less angularly spinous ; pronotum 

 very similarly tricarinate as in that species ; elytra with the 

 discoidal and subcostal areas densely covered with small areolets 

 the interior of which are greyish white. 



Length 4| millim. 



Hab. Bengal ; Muzaffarpur (Ind. Mus. $ Coll. Dist.*). 



Resembling B. angulatus, Dist., but darker in hue and with 

 the costal area of the elytra distinctly narrower than in that 

 species, the lateral produced pronotal areas less prominently 

 triangularly spinous.
