It is recorded here from mainland China for the first time, based on details in Haga & Okajima (1989) and Okajima (2006). It is distinguished from the other species except B. elongatus by the longer sense-cones on antennal segment III. It is distinguished from B. elongatus by hind tibiae bicoloured and tubercles on abdominal segment VI of male uniformly dark brown.
