Remarks: B. agrosa has wide occurrence in Brazil (Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, and S„o Paulo States), and is found in a wide array of environments (forest, littoral and different types of plantation). Its Neotropical distribution has favored characterizations by several authors (Massoud & Thibaud Ν980; Najt et al. 1990; Mendonça & Arlé 1992, Thibaud & Massoud 1983 and Weiner & Najt 2001).
