From editor or global species database
Biology Goto (1894) reported the type host of B. reticulata as silver pomfret Stromateus argenteus. However, S. argenteus (= P. argenteus) is not distributed in the Seto Inland Sea, and P.
punctatissimus is the only species of the genus distributed in the sea (Nakabo 2013). Thus, the type host of B. reticulata is redefined as P. punctatissimus. [details]
