Differs from its two congeners B. longicollis and B. gracilis in the 

 colour of the head and prothorax, and especially in the shape of the 

 latter which is more ampliated laterally in the anterior part, and 

 more sharply marginate laterally, and the two lateral sulci reach 

 from the base to about the median part of the disk ; the elytra are 

 more oblong. The upper part of the body is more densely pubescent 

 than in the two above-mentioned species.
