Ji. A. (Paganorum J nitjio-aneu, nitida, fronts ad oculos, genis, ventrisque. laleribvs luteo-maculatis: prothorace ontice svbcon-

 B. Anoplis of the villagers, black-bronzed, glossy ; front, clieeks and sides of the belly spotted with luteous ; elytra slightly 



furrowed, subattenuated and truncated at the tip. 



Length of the body 7| lines. 



A single specimen taken at Cumberland-house, Lat. 54°. 



DESCRIPTION. 



Very like the species last described. Body of the same colour, head, anterior angles of the 

 prothorax, and underside of the abdomen similarly spotted, except that in the former there are no 

 frontal dots. The prothorax however is differently shaped, being somewhat constricted anteriorly, 

 with the sides towards the base rounded, it is also channelled ; the sculpture of the elytra is similar, 

 but they are more attenuated and truncated at the end, like B. A. rustica, and armed with three 

 minute denticles.

Nutall's 13. Anoplis, black-bronzed, glossy ; spotted above and below with yellyw : elytra slightly furrowed, with the alter- 

 nate interstices of the furrows convex; truncated at the tip. 



Length of the body 7^ — 8 lines. 



Several specimens taken in Lat. 65°. and on the Rocky Mountains. 



DESCRIPTION. 



This species appears to be related to B. octoguttata. Body black-bronzed, glossy, punctured ; 

 underneath with a few pale decumbent hairs. Head confluently punctured with several irregular 

 connected levigated spaces; labial palpi, spot on the mandibles, labrum, lower margin of the eyes, 

 and frontal spots, yellow : prothorax bisinuate both at the apex and base, grossly punctured with 

 several levigated spaces ; lateral margin, except the base, and part of the anterior, yellow ; elytra 

 slightly furrowed, furrows punctured : interstices alternately convex and plane ; the sutural one is 

 convex and forked at the base; the flat ones are most punctured, but the convex ones more grossly; 

 in the disk of the elytra are three equidistant irregular yellow spots arranged longitudinally, and 

 nearer the base, on the second ridge, a line of confluent yellow dots ; the apex of the elytra is trun-
