Subsequent records of B. brevicosta all have to viewed with caution. The specimens from the Lower Senonian of Sweden (with Actinocamax quadrata) from Eriksdal, Sweden, described and figured by Moberg (1885: 37, pi. 4 (figs 5-6)) have very weak, crescentic lateral ribs, rather than dorsolaterally situated tubercles as in B. brevicosta, and they do not seem to belong to this species. The specimens from Mkweyane (Umkwelane Hill), Zululand, described and figured by Spath (1921: 146, pi. 24 (fig. 5)) as BacuUtes cf. brevicosta are identical to Schliiter's figures, as also noted by Spath (1921: 260) 'since it probably only represents a variety of B. capensis ... its exact agreement with Schliiter's species may be a case of heterochronous homoeomorphy'.
