Diagnosis

(based on females). As defined by Arabuli et al. (2019) and Mirza et al. (2024).

There are four species, B. apsheronica Khalilova, 1953 , B. desertorum Hassan, Afifi & Nawar, 1986 , B. ribis Thomas, 1896 , and B. weyerensis Packard, 1889 , not included in any subgenus or species group due to inadequate and insufficient literature, as also reported by Mirza et al. (2024). In the very brief descriptive statements of B. weyerensis , the original author provided the two completely different generic names to which this species may belong, “ Bryiobia? (or Penthaleus) ” ( Packard 1889). The former three species require re-description based on type examination to be added to the respective subgenus and species group.
