larly sinuate and but little more than '% as Tvide as the base; surface densely- 

 punctate. Elytra but little longer than wide, only slightly more than twice 

 as long as the prothorax and about % wider, subogival in form, the humeri 

 moderately prominent and exposed; strise rather coarse, strongly punctured, 

 the intervals nearly flat, moderately broad, rugose. Entire under surface very 

 densely clothed with broader, more decumbent whitish scales. Legs moderate 

 in length and femoral dilatation. Length 6.5 mm. ; width 3.4 mm. 



Arizona, 



The type is a male, having the usual large feeble indentation 

 at the base of the abdomen, the fifth segment toward tip and the 

 pygidium bristling with long dense pale hairs, the former promi- 

 nent at each side near the tip, with the apex concealed but prob- 

 ably truncate. This species may be distinguished from occidentis 

 by the more elongate beak, with more posteriorly inserted an- 

 tennae and larger prothorax of the male. 



B. sti'lctus. — Narrow and elongate-subrhomboidal, rather convex, dark 

 in color, the legs, beak and antennfe rufous; vestiture dense, the scales long 

 and very slender, pale brown in color, paler toward the flanks of the prothorax) 

 in large irregularly subtransverse elytral areas and on the under surface, where 

 they become broader and more decumbent as usual. Head rather more than 

 3^ as wide as the prothorax, the eyes separated by % of their own width, with 

 the interval not distinctly impressed; beak slender, feebly arcuate, rather more 

 so toward tip, % to ^ as long as the body, the antennae inserted a little be- 

 hind basal third, the scape rather longer than the first three joints of the funi- 

 cle, which decrease rapidly in length as usual, the club elongate, fusiform and 

 densely pubescent. Prothorax relatively small, nearly % wider than long, 

 widest at the middle, where the sides are rounded, thence very feebly conver- 

 gent and slightly arcuate to the base, and much more rapidly convergent and 

 feebly sinuate to the apex, the latter transversely truncate and ^ as wide as 

 the base; surface densely punctate. Elytra }4 longer than wide, 2% times as 

 long as the prothorax and very nearly }4 "svider, elongate-ogival in form, the 

 humeri moderately exposed and rather prominent; striae deep and punctured) 

 the intervals flat, rugose and moderately wide. Legs moderate in length and 

 femoral dilatation, the femoral tooth very large and conspicuous. Length 

 5.8-6,7 mm. ; width 2.5-3.0 mm. 



New Mexico (Las Yegas). 



The types before me are females and I have not seen the 

 male ; the species can be distinguished at once from any of those 

 allied to uniformis by the very large femoral tooth, as described 

 in the table, as well as by the peculiar form of the prothorax. 

 The female has a small and very feeble median indentation at the 

 middle of the fifth ventral.
