References. Giglio-Tos, 1894: 3, 1897: 12 (sub B. claraziana ); Finot, 1897: 210; Kirby, 1904: 162; Rehn, 1915: 275; Hebard, 1921: 288; Princis, 1963: 136; Lopes & Oliveira, 2005: 93; Crespo & Valverde, 2008: 174.

Remarks. A record of B. dubia from Tierra del Fuego exists ( Princis 1948). We consider it a false or erroneous record because this peridomiciliary species has never been recorded there afterwards and it is not known from the island by its inhabitants.
