Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
10.5–11.5 mm
in males and
11.5–12 mm
in females. Externally,
B. fasciata
is very similar to
B. nigralba
, but differs by the narrower medial and antemedial line and spots of subbasal area, the much shorter dentation of the postmedial line (that on veins M
1
and Cu
2
is sometimes almost completely reduced in
B. fasciata
), and the narrower longitudinal strokes on veins in the submarginal area of hindwing. The male genitalia of
B. fasciata
are very similar to those of
B. nigralba
and differ by the distally narrower valva, narrower vesica and slightly smaller cornuti in vesica only. The female genitalia of
B. fasciata
differ from those of
B. nigralba
by the much larger, arrowhead-shaped signum (that is elliptical with a medial concavity
B. nigralba
by), and the slightly larger appendix bursae.
Distribution
. South
China
(
Sichuan
,
Hainan
), North
Thailand
and North
Vietnam
. The record for
India
(
Černý & Pinratana 2009
) is erroneous. Records of
B. fasciata
for South
Vietnam
(Volynkin &
Černý 2016
) and the Thai- land’s provinces of Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai and Saraburi (
Černý & Pinratana 2009
) belong to
B. nigralba
.
