Type material.
Holotype (male, CNC): Vietnam, Cao Bang, Phia Oac Nat. Park, summit rd., behind upper FIT, 22°36'21.60"N, 105°52'19.20"E, 1600 m, mat. secondary forest, fogging standing dead tree w/ orange fungus, 7-17.V.2019, A. Brunke & H.

Etymology.
The species epithet refers to the similar species B. nigropolitus from Sichuan, China.
Diagnosis.
Within the Electus group (for diagnosis, see Brunke and Solodovnikov 2014): abdomen entirely dark; head without deeply impressed punctures; lateral face of hind tibia bicolored, distal half distinctly paler than darkened part of hind femur; antennomere 5 subquadrate, 6 distinctly transverse (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ); paramere slightly longer than median lobe, in ventral view median lobe not visible; paramere with apical part broadly rounded to apex (Fig. 2J View Figure 2 ); median lobe in lateral view with smaller subapical expansion (Fig. 2H View Figure 2 ).
Description.
Measurements ♂ (n = 1): HW/HL 1.30; PW/PL 1.17; EW/EL 1.12; ESut/PL 0.85; PW/HW 1.09; forebody length 4.5 mm.
Very similar to Bolitogyrus nigropolitus (Fig. 2G View Figure 2 , 2I View Figure 2 ) except: antennae shorter, antennomere 5 subquadrate, 6 distinctly transverse (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ); pronotum slightly less transverse; elytral slightly longer; paramere slightly longer than median lobe, in ventral view median lobe not visible with paramere in situ; paramere with apical part broadly rounded to narrower apex (Fig. 2J View Figure 2 ); median lobe in lateral view with subapical expansion much smaller (Fig. 2H View Figure 2 ).
Distribution.
This species is known only from Phia Oac National Park in northern Vietnam, though it likely occurs at similar elevations in neighboring Yunnan, China and elsewhere in northern Vietnam east of the Red River.
Bionomics.
The holotype was pyrethrin-fogged from a dead standing tree, bearing orange-fungal fruiting bodies.
