Lectotype male (IZCAS, not examined), by fixation of Chao & Liu in Liu, Chao & Li (1999: 352). Type locality: China , Shanxi, Yicheng, Dahe. Diagnosis. Male. Face with yellowish gray pruinosity; antenna with scape and pedicel, and legs reddish yellow to yellow; third, fourth and fifith abdominal terga each with thin whitish pruinosity on basal 1/5–2/5. Vertex subequal in width to eye in dorsal view or slightly wider (approximately 0.35 of head width); parafacial subequal in width to first flagellomere at middle point; antenna with first flagellomere approximately four times as long as pedicel; arista thickened on basal 3/4; male postabdomen with surstylus broad in lateral view, nearly straight in dorsal view; cerci rather slender in lateral view. Remarks. According to the original description and illustrations, this species appears to be closely related to B. frontosa based on one male feature: vertex subequal in width to eye in dorsal view or slightly wider. This species is easily distinguished from B . frontosa in having a wider surstylus and slender cerci of the male postabdomen in lateral view.
