Remarks
Adult males of this species are characterized by the following combination of characters: maxillary palpomeres II–III tubercular ventrally; antennal scapes tubiform, more curved on the internal side; pedicels globularly enlarged and a glandular nodule situated at the basal 1/3 (Fig. 10A, B, arrows); parameres with four setae each; and an endophallus consisting of two slender struts, converging subapically (Fig. 10C, D).
Comments
Dorsal habitus of the holotype is available in Park and Jeon (2012[1]; https://ecolibrary.me.go.kr/nibr/#/search/detail/5513253). Illustrations of antenna and aedeagus were obtained from Löbl (1975)[2], and compared to those of specimens examined in this study. All specimens collected in Korea were recognized as B. mahunkai Löbl based on the antennal scapes (curved internally), pedicels (swollen and bearing upward glandular nodule), and the aedeagus (structure of endophallus).
