According to the descriptions of five closely related species of the genus Triatoma Laporte, 1832: T. phyllosoma (Burmeister, 1835), T. pallidipennis (Stal, 1872), T. picturata Usinger, 1939, T. longipennis Usinger, 1939 and T. mazzottii Usinger, 1941 and further published studies, these species could be included in a "specific complex" named as the species formerly described. All these species are typical from Mexico and another species was found in the same country, in the State of Puebla: Triatoma bassolsae sp. n. This species was morphologically compared with the other five of the "phyllosoma" complex, including the external male genitalia. The most important characters used to separate T. bassolsae from T. phyllosoma (which is the most similar to the other species) are the morphometric relationships on the head, with a longer anteocular region and a significant longer second rostral segment, a long and conspicuous pilosity in different areas of the body and specially on the head, and the characters of the anterolateral, lateral and discal tubercles of the pronotum, very long and sharp in the new species. The male genitalia has several differences between T. bassolsae and T. phyllosoma specially significant on the surface of the endosome process and on the branches of the phallosome support, separated at the apex in the new species. Types and paratypes are incorporated in the respective institutions in Mexico DF and Rio de Janeiro.
根据对1832年拉波特锥猎蝽属五个近缘物种的描述：叶形锥猎蝽（Burmeister，1835年）、淡色锥猎蝽（Stal，1872年）、斑纹锥猎蝽（Usinger，1939年）、长翅锥猎蝽（Usinger，1939年）和马佐蒂锥猎蝽（Usinger，1941年）以及进一步发表的研究，这些物种可被纳入一个名为先前描述物种的“特定复合体”。所有这些物种都原产于墨西哥，并且在该国的普埃布拉州还发现了另一个物种：新物种巴索尔斯锥猎蝽。对该物种与“叶形”复合体的其他五个物种进行了形态学比较，包括雄性外生殖器。用于将巴索尔斯锥猎蝽与叶形锥猎蝽（与其他物种最相似）区分开来的最重要特征是头部的形态测量关系，眼前区域更长，第二触角节明显更长，身体不同部位特别是头部有长而明显的毛，以及前胸背板前侧、侧部和盘状瘤的特征，新物种的这些瘤非常长且尖锐。巴索尔斯锥猎蝽和叶形锥猎蝽的雄性生殖器存在一些差异，特别是在内质体突起表面和阳茎体支撑分支上，新物种在顶端分开。模式标本和副模式标本存于墨西哥城和里约热内卢的各自机构中。
