Although Broun did not offer any explicit details as to how these three nominal taxa differed from each other, the differences displayed in the
type
specimens is no greater than that of normal variation in the species. The
type
specimen of
B. cervalis
is a female, which is substantially broader than the male
type
specimens of the other two species.
