Holotype: m, BRAZIL, Goiás, Goiana 12VII1957, Malkin col. ( CAS)

Other Material: ARGENTINA: 3Ψ, Misiones, Dep. Concepción, Sta. María, det. Wygodzinsky, Inst. Med. Reg., Vianna col. ( MACN); Ψ, 48059, ( MACN); BRAZIL: ɗ, Goiás, Goiana 12VII1957, Malkin col. ( CAS); ɗ, M. Gerais, Viçosa (20°45’S 42°53’W), 71944, Wygodzinsky det., Carcavalho col., Wygodzinsky coll. ( AMNH).

Diagnosis: This species can be distinguish by the invaginated posterior lobe of the pronotum, and the characteristic shape of the median process of pygophore in males ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 S).

Description. Body length 7.78 9.18 (mean = 8.28). Head length 1.20–1.50 (mean = 1.35), width 0.67–0.75 (mean = 0.71). Head smooth brown, without setae ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 M). Antennal length 7.74–9.28 (mean = 8.51), ratio of segments' lengths ca. 1: 0.92: 0.16: 0.08. Antennal tubercle with a granule at base. Antennal segment I light brown except basally and apically brown, segments IIIV brown, setose. Labrum dark brown. Width of eyes 0.17–0.20 (mean = 0.19), interocular space 0.33 0.40 (mean = 0.37). Genae protruded, light brown. Rostrum length 1.18–1.31 (mean = 1.26), ratio of segments' lengths ca. 1: 1.56: 1.03. Rostrum light brown, except segment III dark brown distally with short sparse setae. Neck with 1+1 dorsal setose tubercles. Pronotum length 1.87–2.33 (mean = 2.00), width 1.00–1.26 (mean = 1.10). Anterior lobe light brown with small short setiferous tubercles. Median sulcus evident only distally. Posterior lobe granulated brown. Basal spine of scutellum setose ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 N). Sterna glabrous. Fore legs light brown, trochanters with setae, femora light brown except one dark brown ring distally and another medially, tibia light brown with or without a stripe basally, with sparse thin setae, tarsi light brown except segment III brown ( Figs. 3 View FIGURE 3 O). Median and hind legs light brown, femora slightly incrassate apically, tibia with abundant thin setae, tarsi brown. Stridulatory sulcus light brown and setose ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 P). Hemelytra length 4.49–5.69 (mean = 4.82), color brown. Abdomen length 4.56–5.38 (mean = 4.79), width 1.03–1.13 (mean = 1.09). Abdomen visible from above. Connexivum brown with dark brown spots. Urotergites light brown and glabrous.

Male: pygophore glabrous and smooth ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 Q). Parameres elongate curved apically, glabrous ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 R). Base of median process thick, apical hook acute and slightly curved ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 S). Phallus ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 T).

Female: gonocoxite VIII subquadrangular, distal scarse setae present ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 U), laterally expanded, relation between maximal width of gonocoxite and maximal width of gonapophysis 3.9: 1.1. Gonocoxite IX subtriangular and glabrous ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 V). Distribution ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 D): ARGENTINA and BRAZIL.

Observations: The closest species is B. biannulatus , but B. misionensis differs in the structure of the female genitalia.
