Type Locality: Brazil, Minas Gerais, Rio das Velhas, Pleistocene cave deposits near Lagoa Santa.

Discussion: Based on compilation of old and new records, Silva et al. (2003) suggested that B. breviceps is extinct at the type locality, now set within Cerrado vegetation, and confined to the more mesic Atlantic Forest zone. See Matson and Abravaya (1977, Mammalian Species, 74).
