metathorax, lin. 8; first six joints of abdomen, lin. 18;

It is more uniformly fulvo-ferruginous than the type ; 

 the abdomen more granulated, and with a very fine longitu- 

 dinal dorsal line (also on the mesothorax) ; the anterior tarsi 

 with the first joint not longer than the three following and 

 scarcely elevato-compressed, and the metathorax consider- 

 ably swollen at the extremity of its anterior part.

Hab. Hong Kong. B.M. 



Long, slender and cylindrical, glossy, and entirely co- 

 vered with minute granulations ; dirty luteous, with the 

 head and prothorax and the hinder dilated part of the 

 meso- and metathorax dark greenish, and the tips of the 

 femora and of the tibisc black : a slender elevated median line 

 extends from the front of the mesothorax to the ninth seg- 



ment of the abdomen. The head is small and simple. The 

 antennae rather longer than the fore legs and very slender. 

 The mesothorax long and slender, but dilated at the hind 

 part for the insertion of the middle legs. The metathorax 

 is gradually narrowed from the base to the middle, and then 

 gradually dilated to the hind part. The abdomen has the 

 segments gradually narrowed to the seventh segment, the 

 middle of each segment being slightly narrowed, and the 

 base and tip of each rather swollen ; the eighth segment is 

 dilated and nearly rounded, and the ninth obconic, with a 

 longitudinal incision extending to the base, the tips being 

 incurved and furnished within with numerous minute teeth, 

 and beneath with two strong obtuse styles bent upwards at 

 their tips ; the eighth ventral segment is short, and the ninth 

 scarcely extends beyond the base of the ninth dorsal seg- 

 ment ; it is strongly angulated at the base beneath. The 

 legs are long, slender, and simple, the femora alone being 

 rather thickened, especially towards the tips, near to which 

 the four posterior are furnished with a small triangular lobe 

 finely denticulated on the outer edge. The legs are dirty 

 pale luteous, with all the ridges formed of fine black lines ; 

 the basal joint of all the tarsi is long and simple ; the two 

 anterior femora have one or two fine teeth near the tip ; the 

 middle femora are only equal in thickness to the posterior 

 pair. The antennae, except the two pale luteous basal 

 joints, are black.

Elongatus, subgracilis, olivaceo-viridis, segmeutis abdo- 

 minalibus apice piceis ; subnitidus, parce et crebre granu- 

 latus ; capite inter oculos bispinoso ; segmentis sex basalibus

This species is more robust than B. Stomphax and 

 several other allied species. It is cylindrical, slightly 

 glossy, sparingly furnished with small granules. It is of a 

 dark olive-green, with the articulations of the abdominal 

 segments pitchy. The head is armed between the eyes with 

 two spines. The meso- and metathorax are considerably
