Four new species, B. paraarcuata sp. nov., B. xui sp. nov., B. candida sp. nov., and B. myops sp. nov., are described from China based on the worker caste. Phylogenetic trees were constructed for eight known and four new species, and genetic distances were calculated. High-resolution images of B. batak (Yamane, 2007), B. flavipes (Yamane, 2007), B. nakasujii (Yashiro et al., 2010), B. pilidorsalis (Yamane, 2007), B. wallacea (Yamane, 2007), and B. brevidorsa Xu, 1994 are provided.
