The female of Bruchus nikdeli Delobel and Sadeghi, unknown until now, is described for the first time. Distinguishing characters of the female and detailed structures of the genitalia of both sexes are presented with digital photographs. The species is also recorded as a new country record from Turkey based on specimens reared from seeds of Vicia canescens L. (Fabaceae), confirming this as a host plant for B. nikdeli in Turkey.
