characters cited in the above description, especially the form 

 of its prothorax and the coarse, somewhat uniform punctur- 

 ation of its dorsal surface.

A little intermediate in the form of its frons in respect 

 of the front declivity, which is not so abruptly perpendicu- 

 lar as in the following species (B. Callahonnu- ). From a 

 certain point of view (obliquely from the side) it appears 

 to be perpendicular, but viewed slightly obliquely from in 

 front is seen not to be so in reality. It could not, however, 

 be placed in respect of this character among the preceding 

 species that are its nearer allies in other respects, for they 

 have no indication whatever of such structure in the frons. 

 Among them, however, it would fall beside B . darJinrjends 

 in the tabulation, from which it differs by, inter alia mnlta, 

 the finer and closer puncturation of its pronotum. In this 

 species the pronotum is punctured very much more finely than 

 the elytra. 



New South Wales: Galston (Mr. Lea).

 flabello pallido : supra pilis perbrevibus adpressis 

 sparsim vestitus : clypeo crebre ruguloso antice rotun-
