Interchangeable taxa

The present species has never been recognized as a good species, probably because of its rarity. Golikov (1980) synonymized it with B. polare, a high arctic shallow-water species with distinct axial sculpture. The differences from B. abyssorum are listed under that species. An additional difference is the shape of the spire, which is more convex in B. abyssorum.
