DESCRIPTION. 



? 



This species approaches very near to B. terrestris, but the whole upper surface of the abdomen 

 is cloathed with yellow hairs, with the exception of the first segment the hair of which, and a band 

 near the anus, are black; the extremity only of the latter is dirty-white; there are a few yellow 

 hairs on the metathorax ; and the wings are embrowned. In B. terrestris the abdomen is black, 

 with a yellow band, and the two last anal segments are white ; there are no yellow hairs on the 

 metathorax, and the wings are much clearer.
