Measurements (mm). Length of body: male 44.1–53.9, female 45.6–52.2; pronotum: male 15.2–19.7, female 14.5–15.9; hind femur: male 18.3–21.3, female 21.3–23; ovipositor: 12–13 ( Ünal 2011).

Remarks. The following populations in the northern central Anatolia are intermediate forms between B. dilatatus and this species. Çorum: Oğuzlar: Kayıbeli, Alaca, Mecitözü: İbek-Cevizli, Tokat: Zile: Çekerek yolu, Palanlı Köyü ( Ünal 2011: 18) and recently found Yozgat: Sorgun yolu (see above) and partly Sivas: Yıldızeli. All of them are located in the region between Çorum, Tokat, Yozgat and Sivas provinces. They are quite variable and possibly hybrid forms of these two species.

This species was found in Afyon, Şuhut with B. conophallus together as congeneric partners.

This species has not been assessed for the IUCN Red List (2016–3). It is widely distributed in Central Anatolia and has enough populations. It should be in “Least Concern” status in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
