CommentDistribution: see map in Ribeiro-Júnior et al. 2016: 153 (Fig. 4). Reports from Colombia (e.g. Vaupés, Ayala 1986) were later described as Bachia pyburni, therefore B. panoplia is not in Colombia.
 
EtymologyNot explicitly given by Thomas 1965 but apparently named after the Ancient Greek πανοπλία (panoplía), where the word πᾶν (pân) means "all", and ὅπλον (hóplon) means "arms". Thus, panoply refers to the full armor of a hoplite or heavily-armed soldier.
