Remarks. Viraktamath & Yeshwanth (2024) adequately described and illustrated this species. This species has the aedeagal shaft similar to that of B. distanti Viraktamath & Yeshwanth and B. albilateralis Maldonado-Capriles , but can be differentiated by the aedeagal apex in lateral view is rounded in B. manipurensis and B. albilateralis , the aedeagal shaft is smooth medially in former and toothed in the latter. In B. distanti aedeagal shaft is smooth medially as in B. albilateralis but the apex in lateral view is pointed.
