Diagnosis
. Forewing length is
12.5–13 mm
in males and
14.5–15 mm
in females. This unmistakable species differs from other relatives by its bright yellow coloration and blackish subterminal area of hindwing. The male genitalia of
B. melanovena
are similar to those of
B. mene
sp. n.
,
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
, but differ by the trigonal and straight medial costal process (that is stronger narrowed distally and slightly curved in other three species), the slightly more robust distal costal process, and the trigonal distal saccular process directed distally-ventrally (that is claw-like curved and directed distally in
B. mene
sp. n.
,
B. syntypicoida
sp. n.
and
B. syntypica
). The female genitalia differ clearly from those of other relatives by their broad, wineglass-shaped antrum.
