Remarks.
The queen of
B. mulanae
is easily distinguished from that of
B. cryptica
by: (1) mid-basal tooth row of mandible consisting of 2 blunt teeth; (2) both 5 peg-like seta and their basal tubercles on anterior margin of clypeus very short and indistinct; (3) a pair of setae on anteromedian portion of clypeus short; (4) frontal carinae inconspicuous, extending by no more than the length of frontal lobe; (5) the distance between median ocellus and lateral ocellus longer than that between lateral ocelli.
