Like B. exertata Moeschl. from Surinam, with all the darker marking's of 

 forewing above middle emphasised with brown-black scales, forming a large 

 black-brown diffnse blotch at base, another at middle of costa, and a third

 metathorax and two basal segments of abdomen are black-brown, like the base 

 of hiudwing. In other respects the species agrees with exertata.
