The species was, based on assured identified specimens, hitherto only known from Japan ( JAEGER & KATAEV 2003: 401). JAEGER & WRASE (1994: 461) mentioned some specimens (one aberrant male und some immature males and females from Fujian and Zhejiang) which were conditionally identified as B. grandiceps . Above examined material (male genitalia investigated) confirms the occurrence of the species also on the Chinese mainland. First record for the Chinese province of Hubei and a further record for Zheijiang.
