Bruchia fulvipes (Baly) View in CoL . Weise 1907: 207 (transfer), 1911a: 30 (catalog), 1911b: 44 (catalog); Blackwelder 1946: 729 (faunal list); Papp 1953: 91 (catalog); Uhmann 1957: 115 (catalog); Wilcox 1975: 144 (faunal list).

Brownish-black; elytra with 5 yellow spots, 1 st at base from interspace 1 to interspace 2, 2 nd on interspace 5 just before middle, 3 rd on costa 1 near middle, 4 th from lateral margin to interspace 5 on apical 1/4 th, 5 th on costa 1 on apex; legs yellow, tarsi darker; venter dark, paler apically. Head: vertex granulose; medial sulcus present with a deep medial fovea; sulcus on inner margin of each eye; frons punctate; clypeus paler, with setae. Antenna: does not reach base of pronotum; antennomeres cylindrical; antennomere I short, transverse; II 1.5 times length of I; III–VI gradually increasing in width; VII longer than V–VI combined, long acute club; I–II punctate, III–IV with setae, V–VII setose. Pronotum: slightly longer than wide; lateral margin slightly rounded, straight at base, converging apically; anterior angle rounded; posterior angle acute; subcylindrical; surface granulose, coarsely densely punctate; medial sulcus present from apex of disc to near base; pronotal length 0.6–0.7 mm; pronotal width 0.6 mm. Scutellum: granulose. Elytron: oblong, parallel; apex regularly rounded; lateral margin finely serrulate; convex; surface granulose; humerus produced, rounded; tricostate; costa 1 strongly produced, interrupted near base, curves outward apically, does not attain apex; costae 2 & 3 shorter than 1, obsolete for most of their length; 8 rows of regular punctures, punctures deeply impressed; elytral length 1.7–1.9 mm; elytral width 0.9–1.0 mm. Venter: surface granulose; pro- and mesosterna punctate medially; last abdominal sternite with row of white setae at apex. Leg: tibia with fringe of setae at apex, punctate. Total length: 2.3–2.6 mm.

Comparative notes. This species is most similar to B. sparsa . It can be distinguished by the elytral costae not being tuberculate; the elytral punctures in regular rows; and the vertex of the head with a medial fovea.

Distribution. Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama.
