Type material. Lectotype ( ZMA.MOLL.138623), and paralectotype ( ZMA.MOLL.138612), designated by Ferreira [1979].

Type locality. Indonesia, Strait of Macassar , 0°34.6’N, 119°8.5’E, 1301 m GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Only known from the type locality.

Remarks. This species differs from other relatives by dorsal scales with six longitudinal ribs and carinated valves. It is necessary to compare this species with B. japonicus (Thiele, 1909) , which is widespread not only off the coast of Japan, but also off New Caledonia and the Solomon Islands [Sirenko, 2016].
