For Bradford-Grieve & al. (2017, p.59) females are distinguished morphologically from their closest relative Br. typicus only by their large size (> 15 mm), but we cannot be certain of the identity between 13-15 mm total length. B. enormis and Br. typicus have the same mouthpart setation. Males are possibly distinguished by the more distal insertion of the inner spine on the right P5 exopode 3 relative to the outer spine and the lack of a notch in the inner border (Br. typicus has inner spine inserted opposite the outer spine and the inner border notched). Females of Br. enormis can be distinguished from Br. gigas by its triangular to pointed posterior corners of pediger 5 (rounded in Br. gigas). and by its long A1 extending about 7 segments beyond caudal rami (3 segments in Br. gigas) andP1 outer border spines of exopodal segments 1 and 2 which are short and not extending as far as the base of following spine (long in Br. gigas, extending to the base of the following spine)/
