Comparing the holotype of D. angusta (Figs 6–8), as well as other specimens of this species, with a paratype of B. concisa (Figs 13–15), photograph of the holotype and original description of D. modesta (Figs 65–66), I was not able to find a reliable difference between these three nominal species. The size in specimens of Bebelis angusta is very variable. Although in general they are larger than in specimens of B. concisa, there are specimens with the same length. Accordingly, B. concisa and B. angusta are synonymized with B. modesta .
