CommentVenomous!

The “multicinctus-wanghaotingi” species group requires study; it is likely polytypic and several closely related though distinct species likely are hidden presently under the names multicinctus and wanghaotingi (LEVITON et al. 2003).

The boundaries demarcating B. candidus, B. multicinctus, and B. wanghaotingi, in Southern China and Northern Myanmar are particularly obscure, with multicinctus and wanghaotingi being difficult to distinguish morphologically (Chen et al. 2021, Yuan et al. 2022).

Distribution: possibly in Yunnan (China) but records from there are questionable (Wang et al. 2022).
