From a preliminary analysis of colour variation, S.-f. More evidence is awaited. From a preliminary analysis of colour variation, S.-f. More evidence is awaited. Evidence of intermediates between B. miniatus and B. friseanus is not strong, but not least because so little material is available from where these taxa occur in close proximity in the eastern Himalaya.
More evidence is awaited.
B. eurythorax and B. stenothorax are closely similar in morphology and colour pattern to B. miniatus . I know of no reason why these nominal taxa should not be considered conspecific. For this species, the oldest available name is B. miniatus , which becomes the valid name. Oriental Region, Palaearctic border. Oriental Region, Palaearctic border.
