Remarks

See Proudlove (2011) for a discussion of the authorship of this species and the generic name Iacksoneuma .

The distinction between this species and B. bagnalli is not always entirely clear (Blower 1986). Blower (1986) also pointed out the great similarity of B. herrioti Demange, 1962 with B. bradeae ( ssp. hussoni Schubart & Husson, 1936), and J.-P. Mauriès (unpublished) has confirmed the identity of the type specimens of B. herrioti with B. bradeae (J.-J. Geoffroy in litt.).
