Material examined. 2♂, CIES, 7-XII-2013, light trap, P.M. Dellapé coll., PNI0004-5 (MLP); 3♂, CIES, 8-XII-2013, light trap, P.M. Dellapé coll., PNI0006-8 (MLP).
Remarks. Although this species is similar to B. nanus , the specimens we have examined are much larger (18.275 mm), with less prominent eyes and shorter antenniferous tubercles. According to Carpintero (1980) B. nanus is a much smaller species (15.12 mm), with much more protruding eyes and longer antenniferous tubercles.
