Type locality. Perulillos, entre Cajamarca y Celendin, Dpto. Cajamarca.
Examined material. HT ♂ (CMa at MRSN); 3 PTT ♂ and 2 PTT ♀ (CMa, CSt); 11 ♂ and 4 ♀ (CAl, CGi, CMa).
Note. The males of this species are distinguished by a subapical inner spiniform protuberance on mesotibia and by an obtuse one on metatibia. On account of the similar morphology of aedeagus, this species seems closely related to B. negrei, which is restricted to the same geographic area.
Distribution. All the recorded specimens are from the Andes of northern Peru, Dept. of Cajamarca. In addition to the TS (legit Bellés 1977), many specimens have also been collected by M. Etonti.
Habitat. The altitudinal data reported on the labels of the specimens collected by M. Etonti (4,000 m) suggest a preference of this species for the high altitude Andean grassland.
