Similar in male palp to B. macrognathus (Thorell) (see Prószyṅski 1976) and B. dilanians (Thorell) (see Prószyṅski 1984). It differs from B. macrognathus in the longer retrolateral tibial apophysis ( Figs 43–45), and from B. dilanians in the straight and finger-like retrolateral tibial apophysis ( Figs 43–45; retrolateral tibial apophysis hooked in B. dilanians ).
