The specimens illustrated here have been tentatively identified by comparison with type material at the Natural History Museum, London. Identification of this species is not possible using the the original description by G. Budde-Lund in Michaelsen (1912). This species is very similar to both B. inaequalis and B. bipartita; all are coastal and morphologically very similar and a detailed revision of all three is needed to solve their taxonomic status.

Fauna Portal Records
The map shows all records that have been verified as part of the Fauna Portal project and may not represent the true distribution of a species. Specifically, for described species, check the link to the Atlas of Living Australia on this page for potential wider distributions. Fauna Portal Reference specimens and Linnean types are shown in red. If you identified a specimen that exceeds the distribution of an undescribed species as illustrated here, please contact the Fauna Portal team who can assist with the lodgement of the specimen in a public institution and display on the map.
