The former for those with body dorsally smooth, which includes  B. floreshiguerai sp. nov., and the second for those with 1 or more pereonal or pleonal posterodorsal processes. Therefore, the present discussion focuses on distinguishing species with completely smooth back. In this sense the new species differs from the species in the group by having the combination of the following characters: kidney-shaped eyes; peduncular article 1 of antenna 1 without ventral process; vestigial accessory flagellum of antenna 1; main flagellum article 3 of antenna 1 posterior margin with a set of callynophore; left and right mandibles with lacinia mobilis bearing 4 and 2 teeth, respectively; mandibular lobes of the lower lip well developed; propodus of gnathopod 2 palmar margin oblique, palmar angle defined by two robust setae; pereopods 3–5 posterodistal margin of propodi with fissures (described for the first time in the genus); pereopod 6 coxa curved at right angles, with four posterior submarginal setae; subrectangular basis of pereopod 6; epimeral plate 3 posterior margin with eight strong teeth.
