Male body length 10.05 mm ; head width 2.61 mm ; crown length×width: 0.88× 1.06 mm ; eye width 0.89 mm ; frontoclypeus length 2.18 mm ; clypellus length 1.01 mm ; pronotum length×width 1.05× 3.11 mm ; mesonotum+scutellum length 1.63 mm .

Elytra fuscous with light brown spots along veins, surface densely covered with numerous tiny pale spots ( Figs 2, 6 ). Ratio of crown, pronotum and mesonotum midline is about 1:1.19:1.85. Male genitalia. Pygofer without processes, broad and swollen caudodorsally ( Fig. 23 ). Segment X broad, lateral margins conveX ( Fig. 22 ). Aedeagus moderately narrow with few short spines subbasally; distal half of shaft eXpanded, with row of numerous setiform spines on each side, strongly constricted subapically with apical section recurved to left; apeX widened and concave distally with serrated margin; gonopore lateral at midlength of shaft ( Figs 24–25 ). Dorsal connective stick-like ( Fig. 25 ). Style very short, attenuated distally with blunt apeX ( Fig. 26 ).

Holotype : male, Republic of the Congo : Department Pool , 3°06.020′S 15°31.440′E , 330m , 26 Aug. 2008 , coll. M. Braet and M. Sharkey. Etymology. The new species name is a Latin word, meaning fish tail, referring to the shape of the apeX of the aedeagus. Remarks. This species resembles B. peditata Nielson but differs in having a dense row of spines on both sides of the aedeagal shaft and the apeX of the aedeagus fish tail shaped.
