Length 1.65–2.66 mm, width/length: 0.34– 0.40. c/w: 0.52–0.62. R1/R: 0.58–1.07. M, Cu, r-m and stM bare. Legs. Foretibia (Fig. 3E) with a comb of 9–10 setae.

Hypopygium 0.49 times as long as wide. Gonocoxite same length as gonostylus; with one ventral elongated seta at apicomesial corner. Intergonocoxal area with small, slightly bifid, densely setose lobe. Gonostylus (Fig. 3A) elongated, densely setose apically, the apical tooth lacking; 1.97 times as long as wide; with a small subapical dorsal lobe with 5 short megasetae, which form a close group. Tegmen 0.71 times as long as wide, roundish apically; with some aedeagal teeth. Sternite 10 with 1 seta on each half. Female. Unknown. BIN. BOLD:ADD2898. Distribution. China: Zhejiang. Remarks. The morphological characters of the new species and B. chenjinae are compared in Results and Discussion. The new species resembles B. scabricornis Tuomikoski, 1960 and B. atracornea Mohrig and Menzel, 1992, but the intercoxal area of B. minorlobus Yang, Shi & Huang sp. n. has a small slightly bifid integonocoxal lobe, which is lacking in many other species. Etymology. This species is named according to its small intergonocoxal lobe of male genitalia and the specific name is combined from the Latin words ‘minor’ and ‘ lobus ’, meaning ‘small’ and ‘lobe’, respectively.
