Distribution. MEXICO (Campeche, Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Veracruz), BELIZE, HONDURAS, COSTA RICA, PANAMA, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, PARAGUAY ( Young 1979; Galati 2003).

Remarks. It remains necessary to reevaluate the geographic distribution of Br. galindoi and Br. mesai . This species, as with others in Brumptomyia , is not anthropophilous and is thought to be associated with armadillo burrows.
