Extra details from original publication
Phylogeny: The thorax of B. tetradica is considered homologous with the two postcephalic segments of B. pentadica. This difference in the number of segments between the cephalis and the large inflated segment serves to distinguish these two closely related species (B. pentadica, ancestor and B. tetradica, descendant).
No descendants of B. tetradica have been recognized. Initially Foreman thought that B. tetradica was the ancestor of B. clinata, but subsequent studies [847] led her to believe that the ancestor is Pterocodon (?) anteclinata.
