Closely allied to B. Icetum, Brulle, but abundantly distinct by its 

 coloration. The reflexed margin of the elytra is of a bright copper- 

 colour ; the suture also has a tendency to be cupreous. It would 

 seem very rare, only two examples having been captured in Terceira.

Black, above fulvous. Head finely reticulate ; mouth, front, and 

 two spots on the vertex fulvous. Thorax short, finely margined, 

 very faintly reticulate, anterior margin punctated, and a few scat-
