Remarks.
Originally described from an unspecified number of specimens (
syntypes
) with the following data: “Tenasserim; Myitta (Doherty)”.
B. venata
closely resembles
B. acutivertex
and also an undescribed species (female) from
Manipur
(Ukhrul,
1647 m
, 25o 06’ 485” N, 94o 21’ 022” E,
28.viii.2014
, Yeshwanth, H.M.) in coloration but differs in having a more broadly rounded anterior margin of the crown and lateral margins of pronotum broadly ochraceous. The female specimen from
Manipur
is much longer (
5.4 mm
long) and has darker facial markings and the pronotum is black with a narrow posterior marginal ochraceous border although it has a similar female seventh sternite.
