Taxonomic remark Type locality: New Caledonia. Description based on 3 specimens, one of them in coll. Mousson which could not be found in ZMZ. In the ZMB, no type material for B. eximius could be traced (Glaubrecht 1999, com. pers.). The description leaves no doubt as to its identity with f. souvillei. [details]
