Description. Male. Reddish brown ( Fig. 2 View FIGURES 1 – 2 ), length 2.00–2.09. Head slightly wider than long, HL 0.40–0.45, HW 0.46–0.47, coarsely punctate on frons, disc, and below antennal tubercles, median carina distinct, eyes with about 30 facets; antennae long ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5 – 9 ). Pronotal about as long as wide, PL 0.47–0.48, PW 0.46–0.47, disc with sparse rough punctures. Elytra slightly wider than long, EL 0.60–0.61, EW 0.77–0.78. Metafemora ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 16 – 28 ) strongly thickened at posterior half, covered with sensory setae. Abdomen wider than long, AL 0.53–0.55, AW 0.72–0.73; tergite IV ( Figs. 12–13 View FIGURES 10 – 15 ) larger than V–VII combined, simple in structure, width between discal carinae 0.30. Length of aedeagus ( Figs. 18, 24 View FIGURES 16 – 28 ) 0.30.
Female. Similar to male in size, length 1.88–1.98, HL 0.40–0.41, HW 0.41–0.45, PL 0.44–0.47, PW 0.43–0.45, EL 0.53–0.57, EW 0.71–0.72, AL 0.51–0.53, AW 0.68–0.70. Eyes with about 15 facets. Metafemora not thickened, lacking sensory setae. Abdominal tergites simple. Width of female genitalia ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 29 – 33 ) 0.26.
Remarks. This species is most closely allied to B. uenoi from Japan by sharing the modified metafemora and simple abdominal tergites of the male. They may be easily separated by the much shorter antennae, the much more thickened male metafemora, and the forms of the male and female genitalia of the new species.
Distribution. East China (Zhejiang).
Etymology. The species is named after the strongly thickened male femora.
