  abstract = {{B}ruchidius {S}chilsky is a large paraphyletic genus of seed beetles ({C}oleoptera: {C}hrysomelidae: {B}ruchinae) which consists of multiple lineages that are usually associated with narrow sets of host-plants. {I}n this study we focus on a group that mostly develops on wattle trees (acacias) belonging to the genus {V}achellia {W}ight & {A}rn. {T}his group originally included nine species and was designated as the {B}ruchidius centromaculatus ({A}llard) species group, but recent phylogenetic analyses revealed that these species belong to a much wider group of species with similar morphologies. {F}or reasons of anteriority we call this enlarged group {B}ruchidius albosparsus ({F}ahraeus). {H}ere we review the morphology of species in this group and provide new diagnoses and ecological data for 10 species. {T}he following combinations and synonymies are proposed: {B}ruchidius tanaensis ({P}ic, 1921) (= {B}ruchus tanaensis {P}ic, 1921) comb. nov. and {B}ruchidius albosparsus ({F}ahraeus, 1839) (= {B}ruchus spadiceus {F}ahraeus, 1839) syn. nov. {F}our new species are also described: {B}. eminingensis sp. nov., {B}. gerrardiicola sp. nov., {B}. glomeratus sp. nov. and {B}. haladai sp. nov. {F}inally we carried out molecular phylogenetic analyses on a multi-marker dataset of 59 specimens and 35 species, including 14 species from the group. {T}he resulting trees allow us to confirm the monophyly of the group of interest and provide a more detailed picture of their evolutionary relationships.},
