Bidessonotus nepotinus J.Balfour-Browne, 1947: 442; Young 1969: 2; 1990: 364; Biström 1988: 18; Nilsson 2016: 99.
Diagnosis.
Known only from a pair of females which are moderately darkly colored with three indistinct transverse maculae. The apex of the prosternal process is lanceolate. Given the absence of known males, a definitive diagnosis is difficult to establish.
Discussion.
Bidessonotus nepotinus is known only from two female specimens ( Balfour-Browne 1947; Young 1990). Balfour-Browne (1947) thought the species is close to or identical with Bidessonotus obtusatus .
Distribution.
Bidessonotus nepotinus is known only from Trinidad (Fig. 31).
