REMARKS: Several specimens collected by the author from 2003-2005 in the NA (station BM52) and previously determined as B. villosa , actually differ from that species in several characters and belong whether to Brada parthenopeia Lo Bianco, 1893 , or to some other yet undescribed species (S. Salazar-Vallejo, pers. comm.).
