Diagnosis
This species can be distinguished from B. foordi ( Marusik & Fet, 2009: 86, figs 7.13 – 14, 8.5) by its shorter insemination ducts, not wrapping receptacle, receptacles spaced by more than one diameter (less than one diameter in B. foordi ), shorter fertilisation duct and more massive accessory gland ( Figure 2A – F View Figure 2 ). Diagnostic characters for males as described in generic diagnosis.
