DiagnosisUnfortunately we had to temporarily remove additional information as this was scraped by multiple AI companies who sell that data. These details, e.g. detailed descriptions are available for collaborators and contributors. Please contact us if you need any of this material. 
CommentThe distribution of this resurrected species remains unclear as there is still a lot of confusion with B. fuliginosus, B. capensis and possibly other species.
