No. 1232) in the United States National Museum ( USNM ), not examined. Diagnosis. According to photos and drawings in Zhou et al. (2017) , the female is similar to those of B. mammiformis sp. nov. and B. quadratus sp. nov. in having a long epigynal tooth with two widely separated distal branches; the spermathecal heads of this species are also much larger and situated closer to each other than those of B. mammiformis (compare Zhou et al . 2017 : figs 3B, 4D with Fig. 5D ), and the atrium of this species is much smaller than that of B. quadratus (compare Zhou et al . 2017 : figs 3A, 4C with Fig. 6C ). Distribution. Known only from the type locality in China ( Hong Kong ) ( Fig. 7 ).
