Diagnosis. Forewing length is 12–12.5 mm in males and 12.5–13 mm in females. The species is similar externally to B. cruciata, but differs by its darker forewing ground color with much brighter and more contrast discal yellow spot of forewing, darker, and pale red hindwing with slight yellowish suffusion medially and a well-developed pale yellow broad discal spot. The male and female genitalia are similar to those of B. hreblayi, the differences are listed in the diagnosis of the latter.

Distribution. Malaysia (Borneo) (Holloway 2001). The record for Malay Peninsula (Bucsek 2012) is doubtful and needs confirmation. All externally similar Malay specimens dissected belong to B. cruciata .
