Figure 34

Distribution. Solomon Islands (Guadalcanal).

Male lure. Cue-lure.

Host plants. No known hosts.

Notes. This species is nearly identical to B. simulata ( Fig. 79 ) in appearance ( Leblanc et al. 2021). It is however genetically distinct and distinguished by a subtle but consistent difference in the extent of wing infuscation ( Leblanc et al. 2021).
