 projections almost toothed. Pronotum proportionately shorter and 

 broader than in B. annulata, the anterior lobe having the lateral* 

 teeth direct and more nearly equal in size ; humeral angles obliquely 

 rounded, elevated, with a few short, oblique, ill-defined teeth, the sur-

 Membrane hardly reaching beyond the abdomen, having fuscous 

 ramifications as in B. annulata. Venter more convex than in B. an- 

 nulata, the longitudinal groove continued distinctly to the penultimate
