4. B. levieauda, antice triangularis obtusa, postice sensim angustata, supra nigra, capite valde excayato, 
thoraceque insequali parce fulvo pilosis, elytris vage punctatis, faciis sinuatis fulvo alboque pilosis ornatis, costa

nali ambiente. Long. -19. 
One specimen, Pennsylvania. Differs from the two preceding by the tip of the abdo- 
men being scarcely at all pectinate; the posterior band of white hair is also broader and 
more oblique. 
5. B. terminans, antice triangularis obtusa, postice sensim angustata, supra nigro-zenea, capite valde exca- 
vato, thoraceque inzequali fulvo pilosis, elytris vage punctatis, parce fulvo-pilosis, fascia lata ante apicem fulvo-

6. B. eruginosa, antice triangularis obtusa, postice sensim angustata, supra cenea, capite valde excavato, 
thoraceque inzequali parce fulvo-pilosis, elytris vage punctatis, fasciis transversis fulvo-pilosis ornatis, costa angusta

Gory, Mon. Bupr. 4, 335, tab. 56, 329. 
Middle and Southern States; rare. The description of Gory does not mention the 
most peculiar characters of this species, which only differs from B. tesselata by having 
no white hairs intermixed with the fulvous ones, by the smaller size, and by the less dis- 
tinctly truncate tip of the abdomen; the posterior elytral fascia is somewhat farther re- 
moved from the apex.

7. B. carbonata, antice triangularis obtusa, postice sensim rotundatim angustata, nigra nitida glabra, capite 
antice canaliculato, thorace convexo, lateribus et basi subito depresso, elytris antice vage punctatis, basi profunde 
lateribus modice impressis; ano rotundato, haud serrato, abdomine segmentis tribus posticis sulco marginali ambi- 
ente, prosterno grosse punctato. Long. -14. 
One specimen, Louisiana, Mr. Guex. Of the size of the preceding, but more rounded 
behind ; shining black; head convex behind, channeled in front. Thorax more than twice 
as wide as long, broadly rounded on the sides, disc very convex, sides and base suddenly 
depressed, posterior angles slightly prolonged acute: base sinuate, middle lobe broadly 
truncate: scutellum triangular, large. Elytra as wide as the base of the thorax, sides 
straight for two-thirds the length, then rounded obliquely to the tip; a few scattered 
punctures are seen towards the base, which is very deeply impressed; a lateral impres- 
sion before the middle extends nearly to the humerus, which is much elevated. Abdo-
