(= 'unichromata' Drew, syn. n.). Subgenus 'Hemiparatridacus' Drew is placed as a new synonym of subgenus 'Austrodacus and its sole species, 'B. abdoaurantiaca', is transferred, while 'B. alampeta', 'B. atrisetosa' and 'B. papuaensis' are transferred to 'Austrodacus' from subgenus 'Paratridacus' Shiraki.
