Description.
Occiput black, frons, face, gena, and prementum dark brown, antenna orange. Mostly covered with microtomentum, frons with shiny spots lateral to ocelli, face with microtomentum below lunule and in dense crescent below antenna. Ocellar bristles anterior to median ocellus. Subvibrissal bristle and anterior genal bristle about 0.5X length of vibrissa.
Thorax black, mostly covered with microtomentum. Proepisternum shiny, anepisternum mostly shiny with microtomentum covering dorsal quarter and posterior third, meron and metapleuron shiny with band of microtomentum between posterior spiracle and hind coxa. Halter white, brown below knob.
Legs black, joints and trochanters dark brown, tarsi yellow, distal 3 tarsomeres of fore tarsus brown. Posterior face of fore femur covered with microtomentum.
Hind
tibia with 2 ventroapical bristles.
Wing brown, veins dark brown, crossveins r-m and dm-cu slightly paler.

Type
material.
Holotype
♀:
COLOMBIA
:
[
Magdalena
:] Sierra S. Lorenzo, Ujhelyi (
HNHM
; photos examined).
Distribution.
Only known from the
type
locality. The location “Sierra S. Lorenzo” probably refers to Cuchillo de San Lorenzo, an outlying ridge of Sierra Nevada de Santa
Marta
(
Fig. 115
).
Comments.
This species is very similar to
B. wayqecha
based on external characters. Given the lack of records between northern
Colombia
and southern
Peru
and the typically small ranges of Andean taxa in the genus, it seems prudent to treat these as separate species until topotypic males of
B. calceatus
can be examined.
