Collection remarks. The specimen was collected by the German zoologist and African explorer Franz Stuhlmann (1863–1928).
Taxonomic remarks. Chilobase lists this species as a junior synonym of B. signata (Kessler, 1874) citing a forthcoming manuscript by Minelli that, to the best of our knowledge, has not been published. A more recent paper (Bonato & Minelli 2014) establishes a number of junior synonyms for B. signata but egyptiacus is not one of these.
Current systematic position. Bothriogaster egyptiacus Attems, 1896.
