Diagnosis.
Most closely related to and likely to be confused with
B. bituberculatus
. Males are separated from
B. bituberculatus
by the rounded MA, broad based E and tapering C (
Fig 18
A). Females are separated by the shape of the AH, which is broader in
B. cinerascens
and the tapering ET; in
B. bituberculatus
the ET is stouter (
Figs 18
D, 20D).
