costa, the fastigium declivent, sliallowly silicate, with elevated rounded 

 margins, continuous with tlie slightly elevated margins of the upper 

 ]»art of tlie frontal costa. The latter broad, subeqnal, feebly broaden- 

 ing below, much broader than the basal joint of the antennae, feebly 

 sulcate in the n>ale, and ai>arsely puin-tate; eyes not very large, slightly 

 iiioie prominent, and anteriorl}' slightly less truncate in tlie male than 

 III the female; antennae abimt as long as (female) or a little longer 

 than (male) the head and pronotum together. I'ronotum subefpial, but 

 sliglitly enlarging ]K)steri()iiy,esi)ecially in the femab', with the faintest 

 j)(»ssibh' indications of lateral carinae in the male, the meta/ona, espe- 

 <ially in the male, fully half as long as the i)rozona, the sulci of the 

 latter scarcely less distinct than the princi[)al sulcus, and similar, cut- 

 ting the median carina, which is often but not always obsolete between 

 tlic sulci and sometimes over the whole prozona; exposed portion of 

 mesonotum fully half (female) or less than half (male) as long as the 

 metanotum. Interspace between the mesosternal lobes fully ecpial to 

 tlic lobes themselves (male, female), the metasternal interspace half 

 (male) or much more than iialf (female) as wide as the mesosternal. 

 lore and middle femora considerably tumid in the male; hind femora 

 moderately stout, about two and a haif times as long as the i)ronotum. 

 Abdomen with a distinct median carina, a little compressed, in the male 

 tajjoring from the base, scarcely enlarged ap'cally, but considerably 

 ui>tarned; supraanal plate of male fully as long as its basal breadth, 

 4lorsally ridged as in H. ohesa; no furcula; cerci slightly longer than the 

 su]>raanal ])late, slightly compressed but externally tumid, tapering 

 on the basal half, the apical subeqnal, moderately stout, slightly down- 

 curved and rounded at the extremity; infracercal plates produced on 

 the inner side nearly to the extremity of the sui>raanal idate. 



General color and markings much as in B. ohesa, but with lighter col 

 ored antennae, and with the upper half of the lateral lobes of the pro- 

 notum very dark, generally forming a distinct broad band in marked 

 contrast to the lower half of the same, and in the female in contrast to 

 the somewhat lighter grisecms disk of the pronotum, the band crossing 

 the luetazona as well as the prozona. There is no red coloring upon the 

 l)r()notum. Hind femora and tibiae as well as al)dominal appendages 

 similar in color to Ji. ohesa, but the hind femora more variable. 



Length of body, male, 11) mm., female, 20.25 mm.; antennae, male- 7.5 

 mm., female, 7 mm.; pronotum, male, 4 mm., female, 4.1 mm.; hind fem- 

 ora, male, 10 mm., female, 10.25 mm.
