Type locality. “ TAIWAN: Mt. Zhibenzhushan, Wutai, Pingdung, 22°43'32.6"N, 120°52'50.2"E, alt. 2100 m ”. Differential diagnosis. This species differs from B. hooki by its more triangular shell, more pointed apex, and parietal callus adnate to the penultimate whorl (not so in B. hooki, see Páll-Gergely and White 2023). For differences from B. montawa sp. nov., B. multihami, B. plicidens, and B. spinosa sp. nov. see under those species. Distribution. This species is well known from Japan as well as Taiwan and China (where it is known from a synonym, B. qingliangfengensis) (Fang et al. 2015; Páll-Gergely and White 2023). Remarks. This species was originally described as a subspecies of B. plicidens. Páll-Gergely and White (2023) have shown that it is distinct as it has hooked and not blunt apertural barriers, so. B. plicidens does not inhabit Japan and Taiwan where only B. lakainguta occurs.
