Comments. This species was not observed in this study and was recorded in Roraima State5 by Truxal (1953). According to this author, B. pallens resembles B. pallipes and differs from this species by its fore femur being narrower and not enlarged at apically; the rostral prong is smaller, originating laterally on the median region of the third rostral segment; and the pronotum is shorter and distinctly not tricarinate.
