03D1878CFFA8FFD3FF51FBA9A5C3F81F.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species has two clearly differing color forms: the dark ' nominate' (Figs. 1, 2) and the pale one (Figs. 3, 4). The first one has slightly darker wing coloration and much broader and more diffuse pattern elements. Nevertheless, in the genitalia (Figs. 7, 8, 10, 11) there are no any significant differences, so they undoubtedly belong to the same species. The distinguishing differences of B. kishidai from the second species of the genus, B. ocellata (Hampson, 1907), comb. nov. are given in the diagnosis of the latter, below.	en	Ivanova, Maria S.

03D1878CFFAFFFD4FF51FEC8A63DFDBD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Externally, the species (Figs. 5, 6) is similar to the pale form of B. kishidai (Figs. 3, 4), but differ by its slightly broader forewings with slightly smaller elliptical discal spot. The male genitalia (Fig. 9) is very similar to that of B. kishidai (Figs. 7, 8), differing in the larger uncus, shorter vinculum, valva broader medially, larger costal process, and the less setose dorsal margin of sacculus. In the female genitalia, B. ocellata (Fig. 12) has smaller spines in the ring-like medial cluster.	en	Ivanova, Maria S.
