Current status: Brachysandalus bicolor ( Villiers, 1948) (combination proposed by Swanson 2019: 198–199).

Remarks: In the original description, Villiers listed, in addition to type locality, three other localities for this species. Materials from these localities should be treated as paratypes ( ICZN 1999, Art. 72.4.1). Three specimens, not labelled as paratype but bearing printed labels corresponding precisely to these three additional localities were found in MNHN and consequently labelled as paratype.
