Remarks.
Chou and Sharkey (1989)
and
Chen and Yang (2006)
recorded this Indonesian species from Taiwan and Fujian, respectively, but these specimens may be misidentified. According to the description by
Chou and Sharkey (1989)
and
Chen and Yang (2006)
their specimens differ from the Indonesian
B. bipunctata
by having a complete and regular basal transverse carina on the propodeum (transverse propodeal carina partly weakly developed and irregular in
B. bipunctata
) and the large stigmal spot of the fore wing connected to a dark brown band below it (without dark band below stigmal spot in
B. bipunctata
). Unfortunately, we did not have access to these specimens and their taxonomic position remains uncertain.
Distribution.
Oriental region. China (Fujian?, Taiwan?); Indonesia (
Yu et al. 2017
).
