Holotype (macropterous female) and 4 paratypes (2 macropterous and 2 brachypterous females): QUEENSLAND: 1 female (holotype), Queensland,  Mt. Coot-tha, Brisbane, 1.viii.1966, R.A. Crowson (UQIC) ;   1 female, Queensland,  Mt. Coot-tha, Brisbane, 1.viii.1966, R.A. Crowson (UQIC) ;   2 females, Queensland,  Mt. Coot-tha, Brisbane, R.A. Crowson, ex litter (UQIC, DBUO) ;   1 female, Queensland, Forest Station, 2000'  Bulburin State Forest, via Many Peaks, 2-5.IV.1972, G.B. Monteith (UQIC)  .</p><p>Etymology. The species name refers to its dense body pilosity.</p><p>Comparative notes</p><p>This new species is characterized by the following characters: clypeus convex; each paraclypeus with 5 long hair-like setae, among them 3 submarginal ones; second antennal segment minute, shorter than both the 1st and the 3rd; prosternal carinae well developed, bearing golden-brown woolly hairs; lateral margins of pronotum serrated, each submarginally with a row of 8—10 long hair-like setae; costal margin without setigerous punctures bearing long hair-like setae.</p><p>Brachypterous females are similar to  B. tamasi, the only other species with distinctly shortened wings, but the latter has staphylinoid like wings (hemelytra reaching to intersegmental suture 3/4 of abdomen). Moreover, both species can easily be separated on the basis of the number of submarginal setigerous punctures on head and pronotal margins (3 and 8—10 respectively in  B. hirta, 1 and 5—6 respectively in  B. tamasi).</p><p>Macropterous females are similar to those of  B. serrata, but differs in having minute second antennal segments, as well as a dense pilosity on head, pronotum, scutellum and abdomen.</p><p>Distribution.
