Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
12.5–14 mm
in males. This species is most similar externally to
B. wernerthomasi
due to its rather large size, but can be easily distinguished by its medial line being connected to the antemedial line and the antemedial line being evenly curved and continuous (while that is angled in the cell and interrupted in
B. wernerthomasi
). The male genitalia of
B. paraprominens
differ from those of
B. wernerthomasi
by the thicker tip of the distal saccular process, and the presence of a broad cluster of cornuti in the distal diverticulum of vesica (that has robust granulation in
B. paraprominens
).
Female is unknown.
