Colombia has an imposing natural wealth due to its topography has many unique characteristics as a consequence
of having Caribbean and Pacific shores, as well as sharing part of the Amazon basin and northern Andes
mountains. Thus, many natural and biological features are due to the convergence of three biogeographical regions:
Pacific, Andes and Amazonia. The Andean uplift created a complex mosaic of mountains and isolated valleys,
including eleven biogeographical provinces (Morrone 2006). The Andes dominate the Colombian topography and
cross the country south to north. There are three mountain ranges (Western, Central, and Eastern) with a maximum
elevation of 5,775 m, and an average elevation of 2,000 m. The Magdalena and Cauca River valleys separate these
ranges, that along with the Putumayo and Caquetá Rivers, the Catatumbo watershed, the Darién, Pique Hill, the
Orinoquia Region (with its savannas), the Amazon region (with tropical rainforests), and some lower mountain
ranges (Macarena and Chiribiquete), have generated the conditions for very high levels of endemism. This variety
of conditions has resulted in an extremely diverse plant and animal biota, and in which 48% of the nation remains
unexplored.
Biodiversity in Colombia is a world treasure, and therefore understanding it is the first step in preserving it.
Understanding insect diversity is a challenge, due to the complexity of finding species in such a diverse biological
and geological settings, as well as due to the difficulty in identifying the many, often undescribed, species.
Historically, Colombia has had many entomologists that have strived towards documenting this diversity and
today, continues to education new researchers for this far-from-finished goal.
Though there is a long tradition of entomological studies, taxonomic knowledge of insects in Colombia
remains fragmented, with the Lepidoptera probably being the best known. Much work remains for the
identification of most species in the Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Diptera. These orders comprise nearly 70% of
all known animal species in the country (Andrade, 1996, Amat et al. 1999, Fernández et al. 2004).
Diptera in Colombia has mostly been studied in species that are relevant to health and forensic concerns, such
as the Culicidae, Simuliidae, Tabanidae, and Calliphoridae. The more conspicuous flies, and larger families,
including the Syrphidae, Asilidae and Bombyliidae, remain poorly known and poorly studied. Recently, efforts to
collect in relatively undisturbed locations may be one of the main initiatives by the government and universities for
better understanding these well-preserved areas and for conservation planning.
Here, we provide a catalogue with the primary goal of providing information on Diptera diversity in Colombia.
This catalogue is based on a combination of a review of the relevant literature with data from new species that will
be presented here for the first time. All genus- and species-group names are listed alphabetically. Valid names are
in bold type at the first mention. Synonyms when mentioned subsequently are italicized. Each published name
including synonyms is given in a chronological sequence according to the scheme: the name of the species,
author(s), year of description, page, genus in the original description (if different from the valid one), type-locality
(or localities in the case of syntypes; updated name into brackets), information about the primary types and their
deposition (and, if a lectotype, a reference to the author and date of the designation), known geographic
distribution. The catalogue contains 3,135 species in 74 families from Colombia (Table 1). This adds another nine
families to the Catalogue of the Diptera of the Americas South of the United States between 1966-1984 (edited by
Nelson Papavero). Unfortunately, and highlighting the need for additional collecting, the families Dixidae,

Chaoboridae, Athericidae, Vermileonidae, Platypezidae, Ulidiidae and Heleomyzidae cannot be included in this
catalogue, due to the lack of specialists who can identify species in these families. Also, the Culicidae, with many
records in the country, is also not included in this catalogue because of its taxonomic complexity.
FIGURE 1. Map of Colombia, with the geopolitical departments.
Chapters of this catalogue are organized into an abstract with key words, a brief introduction, the list of species
with information on valid names and synonyms for Colombian species, type locality, museum where types are
deposited (when available), localities where collected in Colombia and references. Finally, we provide a table that
summarizes subfamily and tribe (if applicable), genus, species and author of species and year.

Abstract
This considerably small family is poorly known in Colombia, with only two species reported for the genus Sylvicola Harris
(1776) so far. We synonymize Neomesochria Amorim & Tozoni (1994) to Mycetobia Meigen (1818), hence transferring
the Dominican amber species Neomesochria antillea (Grimaldi 1991) and N. cryptambra (Grimaldi 1991), and the recent
Neotropical species N. limanda (Stone 1966) and N. stonei (Lane & d’Andretta 1958) back to the genus Mycetobia. This
paper provides new records for Mycetobia and Olbiogaster Osten-Sacken (1886) for Colombia.

Introduction
The family Anisopodidae encompasses seven recent genera in the world, with about 120 described species
(Amorim & Tozoni 1994, Hancock & Amorim 2009). Five genera and 65 species are known from Neotropics
(Hancock & Amorim 2009, Amorim et al. 2002), most of the records from Brazil (Papavero 1967).
This family is considerably old in the fossil record. Protorhyphidae, possibly the family sister to the
Anisopodidae, has members already in the Triassic (Shcherbakov et al. 2005), while the Triassic genus Crosaphis
Evans, originally described as a homopteran, was considered by Kovalev (1983) as close to Mycetobia Meigen
(1818), and most likely fits in the subfamily Mycetobiinae (Amorim & Tozoni 1994). In the Lower Jurassic there
are species obviously related to Olbiogaster Osten-Sacken (1886). The genus Valeseguya Colless, known from a
single male of a recent species in Australia (Colless 1990) and from relatively abundant specimens in Dominican
amber (Grimaldi 1991), has been tentatively assumed to be an anisopodid (Colless 1990, Grimaldi 1991, Amorim
& Tozoni 1994), but the description of Cretoseguya Amorim & Grimaldi from Myanmar Cretaceous amber
allowed to transfer the clade to the Scatopsoidea (Amorim & Grimaldi 2006)—so it does not fit the
Anisopodiformia anymore.
Some authors have accepted family status for groups taken as subfamilies in other classifications (e.g., Hennig
1948, 1973, Amorim & Tozoni 1994), but we keep here a more conservative approach (see, e.g., Michelsen 1999,
Thompson 2006), with the main clades of the group referred as subfamilies within the Anisopodidae s.l. A
phylogeny for the family has been proposed by Amorim & Tozoni (1994).
The most speciose genus in the Neotropics (see Hancock & Amorim 2009) is Sylvicola Harris (1776), but
Olbiogaster has a fairly large number of species as well (see Tozoni 1993, Hancock & Amorim 2009). The
Mycetobia-like Neotropical species of the family were included by Amorim & Tozoni (1994) in a separate genus,
Neomesochria Amorim & Tozoni (1994). This group has few species described and is considerably rare in
collections. Thompson (2006) disagreed from the transference of Mesochria neotropica Grimaldi (1991), a
Dominican amber species, to the genus Neomesochria, as proposed by Amorim & Tozoni (1994). It may indeed be
the case that, despite similarities with the Afro-Oriental genus Mesochria Enderlein (1910), some of the

Neotropical species of Mycetobiinae are actually more connected to the Nearctic species of Mycetobia. The
question of the Neotropical species of mycetobiines is still not well solved and a reassessment of the phylogeny of
the mycetobiines with more characters is necessary. We transfer below the Neotropical species under
Neomesochria back to Mycetobia and synonymize both genera.
The Neotropical fauna of Anisopodidae is, hence, composed by six genera—Carreraia Corrêa (1947),
Sylvicola, Olbiogaster, Lobogaster Philippi (1865), Mycetobia, and Mesochria. In Colombia there are published
records of two species of the genus Sylvicola: S. fasciatus (Roeder) and S. marmoratus (Edwards) (Papavero 1967).
We add here new records for the genera Olbiogaster and Mycetobia.
These flies are more or less slender, with small to medium body size, varying from 2 to 12 mm. The head is
small, rounded, three ocelli, with big dichoptic eyes in males and females. The antenna always has 14
flagellomeres, in most cases with slightly elongated flagellomeres. The thorax is convex and the wing membrane
has color patterns as in Sylvicola. The male terminalia has the cercus prominent, which is also developed in females
(Amorim 1997, Hancock & Amorim 2009). The larvae are saprophagous, found in fermenting substrates, rotten
potatoes, leaves and roots decomposed, sappy exudations from trees, wood rotting, and in holes in trees (Hancock
& Amorim 2009). In the material studied from Colombia, some specimens were obtained from bat feces.

Comments. Following his discussion of problems in the phylogeny of the Mycetobiinae in Amorim & Tozoni
(1994), Thompson (2006) formally moved the Dominican amber species Neomesochria neotropical (Grimaldi)
back to Mesochria. Thompson (2006, page 13) recognized that “[t]he problem of a proper synapomorphy for
Mycetobia remains” and “that the status of the Neotropical and New Caledonian species of Mycetobia remains to
be clarified.” An investigation of the relationships between the mycetobiines of the world with additional
characters is still necessary for a proper understanding of the evolution of the subfamily. Until this is done, it seems
advisable to synonymize Neomesochria to Mycetobia, and to reinstate the Neotropical and New Caledonian species
described in Mycetobia to their original generic combination—Mycetobia neocaledonica Baylac & Matile, 1988,
reinst.; Mycetobia scutelaris Baylac & Matile, 1988, reinst.; Mycetobia antillea Grimaldi, 1991, reinst.;

Abstract
The Bibionidae are a family belonging to the suborder Bibionomorpha with four genera and 17 species known from Colombia. This work expands the distribution of these species to other localities in the country.
Key words: catalogue, Bibionomorpha, Colombia, distribution
Introduction
The Bibionidae are a family belonging to the suborder Bibionomorpha, with eight genera and more than 700
species described worldwide (Pinto & Amorim 2000; Fitzgerald 2009). In the Neotropical region, there are records
for seven genera and a total of 169 species (Hardy 1959, 1966; Amorim et al. 2002). Within the bibionid genera,
only Hesperinus Walker has not been found in Neotropics so far. Hitherto there are records of four genera and 17
species in Colombia (Hardy 1966; Sturm 1990) (Table 1).
Some authors accept Hesperinus in the separate family Hesperinidae (Krivosheina 1997; Papp 2010; Wood &
Borkent 1989; Nel & Skartveit 2011), but this is not the main approach regarding the family classification. The
family Bibionidae is currently organized in four subfamilies, Hesperininae, Penthetriinae, Pleciinae, and
Bibioninae, of which the first three are monotypic (Pinto & Amorim 2000; Fitzgerald 2009; Papp 2010).
The bibionids are usually black flies, with size ranging from 4.5 to 7.0 mm; some species have large orange
portions of the body. The antennae are short and the ocelli are always present. The wing membrane is hyaline to
black or brown, the pterostigma often being distinct. R2+3 and M3 are always absent, and R4+5 might be bifurcated or
simple (i.e., R4 may be present or not). Males and females are easily recognized by the sexual dimorphism: females
are bigger, dichoptic, with eyes widely separated; males are smaller than females, always holoptic.

included in Cecidomyiinae, which is the most diverse subfamily of gall midges in number of species and feeding habits,
including phytophagous, predaceous and fungivorous species. Most of them are galler. The other subfamilies have never
been recorded in this country.

Introduction
Cecidomyiidae are a monophyletic family of nematocerous characterized by these apomorphies: lack of tibial spur
(adult), reduced larval head, styletiform mandibles (larva) and presence of spatula (larva) (Wood & Borkent 1989).
The family is divided into six subfamilies: Catotrichinae, Lestremiinae, Micromyiinae, Porricondylinae,
Winnertziinae and Cecidomyiinae (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). The first five are considered the most primitive
groups and include only fungivorous species. Cecidomyiinae are the youngest subfamily, as well as the most
diverse, including the majority of the known species (Gagné 1989). Differently from the other subfamilies,
Cecidomyiinae comprise not only fungivorous, but also predaceous and phytophagous species, being the majority
gall inducer. Adult: slender, thin, and small to medium body 1.0–8.0mm. Head: eyes generally holoptic in both
sexes, ocelli present only in the most primitive families; antenna primitively with 14 flagellomeres, most composed
by a node and an apical neck, longer in males than in females; antennal sensoria including setae, setulae and
circumfila; mouth parts generally reduced and nonfunctional, consisting of labrum, labella, hypopharynx and
maxilary palpi. Thorax convex, wing with reduced venation, C continuous around margin, usually with a break
near R5 insertion; legs usually long, without tibial spurs; tarsomere 1 of each leg longer than the second one in
Lestremiinae, Catotrichinae, and Micromyiini and much shorter in Porricondylinae, Winnertziinae, and
Cecidomyiinae; claws simple or toothed, empodia varying in length. Abdomen elongate, tergites 1-8 and sternites
2-7 or 2-8 generally rectangular, with setae, scales and a basal pair of trichoid sensilla; male terminalia consisting
of dorsal cerci, hypoproct, gonocoxites, gonostyli and aedeagus; parameres present or absent; ovipositor varying in
length and shape; female cerci two-segmented in the most primitive subfamilies and one-segmented in almost all
Cecidomyiinae, fused into a single lobe or separate. Pupa: generally exarate; head with antennal horns, spines and
papillae present or absent; prothoracic spiracles usually elongate; abdominal spiracles generally short; abdominal
tergites with spines in many groups. Larvae: cephalic capsule reduced, eyeless, antennae generally short (excepting
in predators), styletiform mandibules; prothorax with spatula (dermal and sclerotized structure used for digging
through soil or cutting through plant tissue), nine abdominal segments, and integument with papillae (complement
of lateral and terminal papillae taxonomically important).
The family is cosmopolitan with about 6,203 described species in 736 genera (Gagné & Jaschhof 2014). In the
Neotropical region, 500 species in 170 genera are known (Gagné 1994). In Colombia, only 44 species in 20 genera
have been recorded (Table 1). The knowledge of the Colombian fauna results mainly from the works of Edwin
Möhn (Senckenberg Research Institute, Germany) and Antonio Wünsche (Max Born Gymnasium, Germany). The
26 Accepted by S. Nihei: 13 Jun. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
former described seven Colombian species (Möhn 1955a; 1955b; 1959; 1960; 1961; 1963; 1964 and 1975) and the
latter 24 (Wüsnche 1979), totalizing together about 66% of the known species.
Data on Colombian gall midges fauna were obtained from literature and are based mainly on the catalogues of
Gagné (2004; 2010) and Gagné & Jaschhof (2014), as well as on the publications of Möhn (1955a; 1955b; 1959;
1960; 1961; 1963; 1964 and 1975) and Wünsche (1979).

Abstract
Sciaridae are a widely distributed family with high number of species. They are known as black fungus gnats due to their
dark color and feeding activity. This catalogue presents 17 species from Colombia distributed in eight genera, and for each
species the geographical distribution is provided.
Key words: black fungus gnats, catalogue, Colombia, Sciaridae
Introduction
Sciaride are a large and cosmopolitan family, commonly known as “black fungus gnats”. Of the 2400 described
species, about 29 genera and 193 species are found in the neotropics (Amorim et al. 2002). They are tinny and
fragile flies, 1.0–6.0 mm long, usually blackish, yellowish or brownish. Head ovoid, compound eyes meeting
above the base of antennae forming dorsal bridge. Antennae long with 14 flagellomeres, scape and pedicel
rounded, three ocelli present; palpus usually with three segments. Wing hyaline, brownish or darkwish. C short, Sc
weak, veins M and Cu thinner, one cross-vein r-m, and CuA stem short. Foretibia with apical spur, mid and hindtibia with two apical spurs. Tarsal claws simple or toothed. Abdomen cylindrical, tapered posteriorly in females,
and an exposed genitalia in males. Larvae have soft skin, white, with a translucent 12-segmented body, and a black
head (Mohrig & Menzel 2009).
The immatures feed upon many organic matter in the soil and plant litter, besides mine in stem or leaves, and
live under the bark of live trees. Some species have been found in caves, animal burrows, ant colonies, and bird
nests. Some genera are known as pests in mushroom and plant cultivation (Mohrig & Menzel 2009).
Sciaridae represent a monophyletic family based on characteristics from larval head, but the classification of
the family into subfamilies is controversial among the authors and is not used here. Sciaridae are probably a sister
group of Mycetophilidae rather than of Cecidomyiidae due to similarity of the larval mouthparts and the loss of the
eighth abdominal spiracle in the larvae (Mohrig & Menzel 2009).
In this catalogue all Sciaridae species recorded from Colombia are summarized and listed (Table 1). The
catalogue of Amorim (1992) was adopted for the classification and nomenclature. Recent publications concerning
taxonomic changes were considered. All the distributional data available are provided.

Abstract
This small family of Diptera is poorly known in Colombia. In the present catalogue, we feature a single report for the
country, of a species of the genus Eratomyia.
Key words: Bibionomorpha, Catalogue, Colombia, distribution, diversity, Rangomaramidae
Introduction
The family Rangomaramidae was erected by Jaschhof and Didham (2002) for five New Zealand species of the
genus Rangomarama Jaschhof and Didham. The concept of the family was revised by Amorim and Rindal (2007)
based on a phylogenetic study of the Mycetophiliformia. A number of genera of controversial position in
Bibionomorpha fit, in the analysis, in three clades that gathered with Rangomarama. The Rangomaramidae now
would include Rangomarama in a subfamily of its own, Rangomaraminae, Heterotricha Loew as the single genus
of Heterotrichinae, and two other subfamilies, Chiletrichinae, including Chiletricha Chandler and related genera,
and Ohakuneinae, including Ohakunea Tonnoir and Edwards and related genera. These clades are obviously
related in terms of plesiomorphies to a number of genera known from Jurassic deposits and to the family
Archizelmiridae (Grimaldi et al. 2003). The study of Amorim and Rindal (2007) was carefully reviewed by
Jaschhof (2011) and many of the inferences were questioned based on arguments concerning methods and
characters. But a reanalysis of the higher Bibionomorpha with more data, taxa and another supposedly more
thorough method is still wanted.
Six genera and twenty species have been recorded for the Neotropics in the family (Amorim & Falaschi 2012).
They belong to the genera Chiletricha, Eratomyia Amorim and Rindal, Ohakunea, Colonomyia Colless, Cabamofa
Jaschhof and Rogambara Jaschhof. In the Ohakuneinae, Cabamofa and Rogambara are both monotypic and
known only from Costa Rica (Jaschhof & Hippa 2003), there is one species of Ohakunea know from Chile, and
there are seven species of Colonomyia from Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica (Matile & Duret 1994; Hippa
& Jaschhof 2004; Amorim & Rindal 2007). In the Chiletrichinae, there are eight species of Chiletricha, known
from Chile, Argentina, and southern Brazil, and two species of Eratomyia, the type-species from Ecuador, and an
additional species from Colombia (Amorim & Falaschi 2010).
The flies of this family have body size ranging from 1.7 to 6.0 mm and wing length varying from 2.0 to 5.5
mm. The body color is usually shining or dull brown, sometimes with yellowish areas. Usually there are three
ocelli, but sometimes the lateral ocelli are displaced laterally, but never come into contact with the eye margin—the
ocelli are absent in Rogambara and Cabamofa. An eye-bridge is absent or incomplete in most genera, being
complete only in Rogambara and Cabamofa. The antenna has 14 flagellomeres, the first article usually 1.5 the
length of the second flagellomere, with setae haphazardly distributed. The maxillary palpus has the palpiger and
four additional palpomeres, the last segment much longer than preceding ones in the Chiletrichinae, Ohakunea, and
Colonomyia. The thorax is more or less elongate (not so much in Cabamofa). The primary anapleural suture and
46 Accepted by S. Nihei: 10 Apr. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
midpleural pit are present and the katepisternum is not particularly developed. Anepisternal and katepisternal setae
are absent, with few exceptions. The mesopleurotrochantin is not visible. The mesepimeron is usually high and
slender, in some cases obliterated in the ventral half due to fusion between katepisternum and laterotergite.
Mesepimeral setae are present only in Eratomyia. The laterotergite is convex posteriorly into the mediotergite,
slightly projected laterally, and laterotergite setae are present only in Heterotricha. The mediotergite is high,
slightly curved, entirely bare. The metepisternum is normally produced, small, the postnotal phragma not being
particularly reduced. The halter has a long pedicel. All coxae are elongated, with the tibial spurs 1:2:2, but the spurs
not as long as seen in ditomyiids or most mycetophilids. The front tibia has a differentiated area with a regular row
of setulae, except in Chiletricha. The wing is elongated, the macrotrichia on the membrane being either present or
absent. Sc is incomplete, with the possible exception of Rangomarama. The base of Rs is oblique or transverse,
long only in Rangomarama, while r-m can be nearly transverse (e.g., in Chiletricha), oblique backwards (e.g.,
Eratomyia or Rhynchoheterotricha Freeman) or longitudinal (in Ohakuneinae); r-m is particularly long in the
Eratomyia and in the Ohakuneinae, but very short in Heterotricha, and entirely absent in Rangomarama. R4 always
absent; R1 is usually long, reaching C before the mid of the wing length only in Colonomyia and Rogambara. M1+2
forks beyond the mid of the wing, the medial fork being particularly long in Heterotricha, Ohakunea, and
Colonomyia. In most genera m-cu reaches CuA typically close to the wing base, with tb (M1+2/M3+4) longitudinal.
The first sector of CuA is usually short, longer only in Eratomyia. A1 never reaches the wing margin, being entirely
absent in Colonomyia, Cabamofa, and Rogambara. The abdomen is only slightly more slender at its base. The
abdominal tergites and sternites 1-7 are normally sclerotized. Segment 8 is well developed, only slightly shorter
than preceding segments. The male gonocoxites, gonostyles, tergite 9, and cercus are considerably variable
between the subfamily and genera. In females, the first cercomere is shorter than the second in Heterotricha and
Chiletricha, but longer than the second in Rangomarama. Two sclerotized spermathecae are present in all genera
for which information is available.

Abstract
The Ditomyiidae are a family belonging to the suborder Bibionomorpha, until now without records to Colombia. This
work reports the first record of the genera Rhipidita and Calliceratomyia for the Colombian region.
Key words: Bibionomorpha, Catalogue, Colombia, distribution
Introduction
Ditomyiidae are a family of gnats in the suborder Bibionomorpha, with eight genera and more than 100 species
described worldwide (Vockeroth 2009), except in the Afrotropical region. In the Neotropical region, four genera and
35 species are recorded (Munroe 1974, Papavero 1978; Amorim et al. 2002; Huerta & Amorim 2016), none of them
known from Colombia. For the first time the genus Rhipidita Edwards was collected with two new species (Falaschi
& Amorim, in prep.) and the genus Calliceratomyia Lane, with four new species (Falaschi et al., in prep.).
Adults are found on vegetation in primary forests. As pointed out by Munroe (1974), the wood- or hard
fungus-boring habits of the larvae make extremely difficult to study the life history of these organisms in detail.
Immature stages of ditomyiids are currently known only for the Holarctic genera Symmerus Walker and Ditomyia
Winnertz, and the Chilean-Australian genus Australosymmerus Freeman (Matile 1990). Larvae are associated with
bracket fungus (Basidiomycota: Polyporaceae) in rotten wood (Munroe 1974), where they build their galleries.
Ditomyiids are medium-size gnats (3.0-8.0 mm), and can be recognized by the following characters:
postpronotum with one or more long bristles, veins M1+2 and M3+4 basally connected (m-cu), basal portion of M
absent and R4 present, long, well over half the length of the apical part of R5, Sc weak and ending free.

Abstract
Diadocidiidae are a small family belonging to the suborder Bibionomorpha. Three species were described for the
Neotropical region, two from Costa Rica and one from Brazil, and one additional undescribed species from Colombia is
reported here for the first time.
Key words: Bibionomorpha, catalogue, Colombia, distribution
Introduction
The Diadocidiidae correspond to a small family of Mycetophiliformia, in the suborder Bibionomorpha, with 24
extant species in two genera, including the living genus Diadocidia Ruthe, 1831, and a fossil genus from the
Cretaceous amber from Katchin (Myamar), with one species, Docidiadia burmitica (Blagoderov & Grimaldi,
2004). The genus Diadocidia is divided into three subgenera: Adidocidia Laštovka and Matile, 1972, Diadocidia
and Taidocidia Papp and Ševčík, 2005 (Blagoderov 2007; Bechev & Chandler 2011). The living species of the
family are found in the Holarctic, Oriental, Australasian/Oceanian, and Neotropical regions.
Little is known about the biology of these flies. Adults are found in shaded places in forests along streams and
on tree trunks (Rindal & Gammelmo 2007). Larvae were reported to live in mucous tubes under rotting logs,
associated with Polyporaceae fungi (Hutson et al. 1980, Sasakawa 2004), similarly to some Keroplatidae (Matile
1997). In such habitats, larvae feed on the hymenium of these fungi (Zaitzev 1994) and Chandler (1993) reported
that a larva of Diadocidia ferruginosa (Meigen, 1830) was feeding on Peniophora sp., a Basidiomycota fungus
belonging to the Peniophoraceae.
Diadocidiids are medium size flies, with body length of 2.5–5.6 mm. Diagnostic features for the family are
mostly plesiomorphies: three ocelli, antennae with scape and pedicel short, flagellum about 1.5 times as long as the
combined length of head and thorax; antennae with 14 flagellomeres; thorax humpbacked; and macrotrichia widely
distributed over the wing membrane. Gnats are easily recognized, however, by the wing vein pattern, unique in the
Bibionomorpha: r-m and the stem of M3–M4 are almost perfectly aligned transversally in the wing.
Diadocidia is widely distributed in the world, even though the number of species is not considered high. For
the Neotropical region, Papavero (1977) mentioned a single species from Brazil and an undescribed species from
Chile (Falaschi & Amorim, 2014). Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2007) recently added two species from Costa Rica (D.
similis Jaschhof & Jaschhof, 2007 and D. hybrida Jaschhof & Jaschhof, 2007), whereas Vockeroth (2009) referred
to an undescribed species from Mexico. The occurrence of the genus Diadocidia in Colombia is reported here for
the first time (Table 1).

Abstract
Currently, 86 genera are ascribed to the Keroplatidae, with about 950 known species. The family includes three subfamilies: Arachnocampinae, Macrocerinae, and Keroplatinae. Both Macrocerinae and Keroplatinae are found in Colombia,
with five described species distributed in four genera. The available information about Colombian keroplatids is compiled,
with new records for five genera.
Key words: Bibionomorpha, catalogue, Colombia, distribution
Introduction
Keroplatidae presently comprise 86 genera, and approximately 950 described species (Papavero 1978; Matile
1990; Evenhuis 1994, 2006; Falaschi 2012), present in all biogeographic regions. In the fossil record, they are
known from the Upper Jurassic (about 150 million y.b.p.), while the Orfeliini appear in the fossil record only in the
Cenozoic (about 65 million y.b.p.) (Matile 1990; Evenhuis 1994). The family is divided into three subfamilies:
Arachnocampinae, Macrocerinae and Keroplatinae (Matile 1981). Papp and Ševčik (2005) proposed a new
subfamily, Sciarokeroplatinae, based on a single species, Sciarokeroplatus pileatus Papp & Ševčík, from the
Oriental region, but its validity was contested by Amorim et al. (2008).
The family is distributed worldwide and commonly found in moist tropical forests, but also in other
ecosystems, usually associated with fungi. Adults are often found in dark and humid places, like caves. They can
be collected with sweeping in low vegetation, under hanging rocks, trunks and along banks of streams. They are
also frequently found in Malaise traps, some species being collected in light traps with ultra-violet lamps and
occasionally in yellow pan traps (Evenhuis 2006). Larvae are present in moist and dark places, like caves, trunks,
slits in stones, and have different alimentary habits. Predaceous larvae are seen in Arachnocampinae, Macrocerinae
and Keroplatinae (Mansbridge 1933) while mycophagy is present only in Keroplatinae (Evenhuis 2006).
Keroplatids are medium-size flies (2.0–9.0 mm), with vein R4 present ending at C or R1 (except for a few
species of Robsonomyiini and the keroplatini genus Chetoneura Colless), fusion of base of M1+2 with the base of
RS, resulting in the r-m disappearance (although in the genera Pseudoplatyura Skuse and Platyura Meigen this
condition is seemingly reverse) (Amorim & Rindal 2007).
The Colombian fauna of keroplatids is composed by subfamilies Macrocerinae and Keroplatinae. In
Macrocerinae, there are only two species, both belonging to the tribe Macrocerini. In Keroplatinae, both
Keroplatini and Orfeliini are recorded with eight species (new record for five genera and species). The former is
represented by two genera, and two species, whereas Orfeliini has five genera, with six species (Falaschi in prep.)
(Table 1).

Abstract
The Lygistorrhinidae are a family belonging to the suborder Bibionomorpha, with no previous record from Colombia.
This paper refers for the first time to the occurrence of the family in the country, an undetermined species of the genus
Lygistorrhina (Probolaeus) Williston.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Distribution, Lygistorrhinidae.
Introduction
Lygistorrhinidae are a family widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, with a total of 15
genera, of which eight are extant and seven known only from fossils (Grimaldi & Blagoderov 2001, Hippa et al.
2005, Pape et al. 2011). Detailed information on the biology of the group and immature stages habitat is still
wanting.
The genus Lygistorrhina Skuse encompasses 21 species worldwide, divided in two subgenera—Lygistorrhina
s.str. and Probolaeus Williston. Phylogenies for the family have been proposed by Grimaldi & Blagoderov (2001),
Blagoderov & Grimaldi (2004), Hippa et al. (2005), and Blagoderov et al. (2009). Despite the robust hypothesis of
monophyly of Lygistorrhina s.l., there is still no indication that the set of species gathered under the subgenus L.
(Lygistorrhina) composes a monophyletic arrangement. Hence, neither generic nor subgeneric status to Probolaeus
correspond to true solutions for the problem of the group. A complete revision of Lygistorrhina s.l. must be
undertaken before the genus could be split into two or more groups, independently of the rank (Oliveira & Amorim
2012).
A catalogue of the Neotropical Lygistorrhinidae was published by Papavero (1977, 2002), and an updated
version is now available Oliveira & Amorim (2012). Brief descriptions, photos of the types of some species, and
distributional data are also available in Fungus Gnats Online (2013).
Unfortunately, in the material available for our examination, only females were present, so this allowed
establishing here the first record of the family for Colombia (Table 1), but it is not much helpful for species level
determination.

Abstract
The Mycetophilidae include small fungus-gnats which life cycle is associated with fungi, especially of the larvae. The
known diversity of the family in the Neotropical region is 1,145 species, but only some very few papers have been published on the Colombian species of Mycetophilidae, with records for the genera Docosia Winnertz, Paraleia Tonnoir, and
Dziedzickia Johannsen. This catalogue gathers the information available on mycetophilids from Colombia, including genera and some species that for the first time are mentioned to occur in the country—as Leiella unicincta Edwards and Leiella zonalis Edwards.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Mycetophilidae
Introduction
Mycetophilids are small fungus-gnats (Diptera, Mycetophilidae), usually with a combination of brown, black and
yellow colors in adults (Hutson et al. 1980). Adults are often found in dark, damp woods, tunnels and root system
of trees, and are particularly common in cavities under tree roots and overhanging stream banks (Hutson et al.
1980, Ševčík 2010). Larvae generally feed on mycelium and sporophores penetrating hyphae. But there are species
with diverging biology, being associated to decaying plant organic material. Details of immatures and the biology
of most species in the family remain unknown (Hutson et al. 1980, Ševčík 2010).
In a study of forest stratification in the Appalachians, a non-random distribution of different species of
Mycetophilidae was found in three regions of Tsuga canadensis Cup (L.), associated with incidence of natural light
(Coots et al. 2012). Only adults were collected, indicating possible migratory behavior to areas with more suitable
temperature, moisture, food sources and protection (Coots et al. 2012). Mycetophilids are common in forests and
continuity between forest fragments has a strong impact on the faunal composition of the family. The life cycle,
particularly immatures, is connected to fungi with fruit bodies, so precipitation, wood composition and wood
abundance correspond to important factors in population density (Økland 1994, 1996, Økland et al. 2005).
The Mycetophilidae belong to the suborder Bibionomorpha (in the sense of Amorim & Yeates 2006), together
composing with seven other recent families the Mycetophiliformia (Hennig 1973, Amorim & Rindal 2007). There
are conflicts between authors about the phylogeny of the group (Søli 1997, Tozoni 1998, Rindal et al. 2009a), but
the monophyly of Bibionomorpha and Mycetophiliformia is well corroborated (Wood & Borkent 1989, Amorim &
Rindal 2007). Different hypotheses of relationship of the family within the higher Bibionomorpha can be found in
Amorim & Rindal (2007: 55, 69), but and there is little doubt about Lygistorrhinidae being the sister group of
Mycetophilidae.
The Mycetophilidae are widely accepted as a monophyletic group (Søli 1997, Tozoni 1998, Rindal et al.
2009a). The family includes clades recently treated as subfamilies: Sciophilinae, Gnoristinae, Mycomyiinae,
Leiinae, Manotinae, Allactoneurinae, and Mycetophilinae (Tozoni 1998, Chandler 2009, Rindal et al. 2009a,
Amorim & Oliveira 2008, Oliveira & Amorim 2010a, b, 2012). Some phylogenetic studies were performed for the
Accepted by S. Nihei: 10 Jun. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
65
Mycetophilidae subfamilies (e.g., Hippa et al. 2004, Rindal & Søli 2006, Rindal et al. 2007, 2009b, Borkent &
Wheeler 2013, Oliveira 2013, Ševčík et al. 2013), even though the taxonomic sampling of some of these studies
may consist a limitation to the reliability of the conclusions. A wide phylogeny of the family, however, including
all or almost all of its genera is still waiting.
A total of 233 genera and about 4,500 species of Mycetophilidae were described so far from all biogeographic
regions (Pape et al. 2011). Records of species belonging to the crown-group of the family are known from fossil at
least from the Cretaceous (Evenhuis 1994, Amorim & Silva 2002).
For the Neotropical region, 54 genera and 1,145 species of Mycetophilidae have been described so far
(Papavero 1978, Oliveira & Amorim 2014). The type series of most species is allocated at the Natural History
Museum (NHM), London (mostly F.W Edwards and John Lane’s species) (Amorim & Oliveira 2013), at the
Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo (MZUSP) (mostly John Lane’s species), and at the
Museum national d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (mostly J.P. Duret’s species). Species of Mycetophilidae have been
described based on material from Colombian type localities only very recently (Oliveira & Amorim 2011, 2012).
Their holotypes and paratypes are located at the Alexander von Humboldt Biological Resources Research Institute
(IAvH), Bogota, Colombia, and at the MZUSP.
Colombia is one of the countries in the Neotropical region with particularly special diversity not only in terms
of number of species, but also in terms of the biogeographical components to which the species belong. Higher
altitude species of Mycetophilidae in the Andes of Colombia in many cases belong to genera with amphinotic
distribution (i.e., present in Chile and Australia and/or New Zealand—Amorim et al. 2009), with tropical
connections (i.e., present in Amazonia, tropical forests in Central America and in the Atlantic Forest), as well as
nearctic elements, sometimes also found in higher areas in Central America (e.g., Costa Rica) (Oliveira et al.
2007).
The distribution given for the species in this catalogue in many cases is that one stated in published papers.
However, experience shows that, although some cases actually may correspond to widely distributed species, many
species have been misidentified and wide distributions may be mistaken for some species. This can be corrected
only with detailed studies within each genus.

First records of Mycetophilidae genera in Colombia
Dr. Michael Sharkey (National Science Foundation Grant DEB-0205982) project of collections in Colombia with
Malaise traps resulted in an amazing amount of material with invaluable importance to our understanding of the
Diptera diversity. Additional information on the project can be found at the web address of the project (http://
www.sharkeylab.org/biodiversity/static.php?app=colombia&page=index, last access in September, 05th, 2013).
Many genera of Mycetophilidae were recorded for the first time in Colombia after this project. Some of the new
generic occurrences were already mentioned (Oliveira et al. 2007, Oliveira 2009), but we should add here records
for other genera whose species still wait to be published/described.
Based on the Dr. Michael Sharkey material, housed at the IAvH collection, the following genera are first
recorded for Colombia: Acnemia Winnertz (1863), Allocotocera Mik (1886), Cluzobra Edwards (1940),
Duretophragma Borkent (2013), Eudicrana Loew (1869), Megalopelma Enderlein (1910a), Monoclona Mik
(1886), Neoaphelomera Miller (1945), Neuratelia Rondani (1856), and Sciophila Meigen (1818)—Subfamily
Sciophilinae Rondani; Austrosynapha Tonnoir (1929), Synapha Meigen (1818), Tetragoneura Winnertz
(1846)—Subfamily Gnoristinae Edwards; Mycomya Rondani (1856) and Neoempheria Osten-Sacken
(1878)—Subfamily Mycomyinae Edwards; Aphrastomyia Coher & Lane (1949), Leia Meigen (1818),
Megophthalmidia Dziedzicki (1889), and Procycloneura Edwards (1932) - Subfamily Leiinae Edwards; Manota
Williston (1896)—Subfamily Manotinae Edwards; Cordyla Meigen (1803)—which three species are being
described by Kurina & Oliveira (in press) —, Epicypta Winnertz (1863), Exechiopsis Tuomikoski (1966),
Mycetophila Meigen (1803), Neallodia Edwards (1932), Platurocypta Enderlein (1910b), Phronia Winnertz
(1863), Rymosia Winnertz (1863), Trichonta Winnertz (1863), and Zygomyia Winnertz (1863)—Subfamily
Mycetophilinae Newman.
The updated version of the Neotropical catalogue of Mycetophidae (Oliveira & Amorim, 2014: 25) mistakenly
referes to the species Leia amabilis (Williston) as distributed in Colombia. This species was described for the
region of the Vera Cruz, near Medellin, in Mexico, and not in Colombia. Hence, Leia is first recorded from
Colombia after the inventory project of the country fauna, as mentioned above.

Abstract
A catalogue of the Colombian crane flies (Tipulomorpha, families Tipulidae and Limoniidae) is provided, based on updated information from the Catalogue of the Crane flies of World, with additional data on the geographical distribution of
the species in Colombia taken from the primary literature. A total of 131 valid species are recorded for Colombia, 38 in
the family Tipulidae and 93 in the family Limoniidae.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Tipulidae, Limoniidae
Introduction
The crane flies–Tipulomorpha (Starý 1992, Amorim & Yeates 2006)—include the families Limoniidae, Tipulidae,
Pediciidae and Cylindrotomidae. Over 15,000 extant species in ca. 500 genera are included in this group, which has
a worldwide distribution (Oosterbroek 2015). Only the families Limoniidae and Tipulidae occur in Colombia.
Adults of crane flies are found in a variety of different environments, such as forests, grasslands, cultivated fields,
urban yards, and deserts. The immature stages of most species live in aquatic or semi aquatic habitats, but many
species with terrestrial larvae are also known (Alexander & Byers 1981, Gelhaus 2005, De Jong et al. 2008). The
detailed review of Pritchard (1983) is still the most complete account on the biology of crane flies.
Morphologically, the adults of Tipulomorpha can be recognized by their slender bodies with narrow wings and
long legs. However, a lot of variation may occur and species with relatively more stout bodies are common,
especially in the Limoniidae. The ocelli is absent in all members of the group, which also have a typical “V”shaped transverse suture in the mesonotum. Crane flies can be small or large flies with wing lengths spanning from
less than 3 mm to over 30 mm. Members of the Tipulidae typically have larger sizes as compared with the
Limoniidae. In Tipulidae, the terminal segment of the maxillary palps is slender and longer than the penultimate
segment, and the antennae are normally 13-segmented. In the Limoniidae, the terminal segment of the maxillary
palps is as short as the others, and the antennae usually have 14 to 16 segments. Crane fly larvae are typically
elongate with distinct but retractable head capsules. A recent detailed diagnosis for the group is provided by
Gelhaus (2009).
The classification of crane flies is conflicting regarding the taxonomic ranks attributed to its higher taxa.
According to the system of classification adopted here, which follows Starý (1992) and Amorim & Yeates (2006),
the Tipulomorpha includes four families: Tipulidae, Limoniidae, Pediciidae and Cylindrotomidae. Another
classification groups the crane flies into a single family, the Tipulidae sensu lato, with the taxa treated here as
families ranked as subfamilies (Tipulinae, Limoniinae and Cylindrotominae) and tribe (Pediciini, subordinated to
the subfamily Limoniinae) (e.g., Alexander & Alexander 1970, Gelhaus 2009). While the monophyly of the entire
Tipulomorpha seems well supported by phylogenetic studies with both morphological and molecular data
(Oosterbroek & Theowald 1991, Starý 1992, Ribeiro 2008, Petersen et al. 2010), neither of the competing
classifications can be considered as natural. The Pediciidae is probably the sister-group to the rest of the
Tipulomorpha. Tipulidae and Cylindrotomidae are likely to be monophyletic sister groups. However, the large and

heterogeneous Limoniidae is almost certainly paraphylectic with respect to the Tipulidae + Cylindrotomidae clade
(Ribeiro 2008, Petersen et al. 2010).
For the student of the crane flies, a very especial and valuable source of information is available on the
internet: the Catalogue of the Crane flies of the World (CCW), by Pjotr Oosterbroek (Oosterbroek 2015, available
at http://ccw.naturalis.nl/index.php). This database covers all 17,638 genus-group and species-group taxa of the
four crane fly families, and has been regularly updated. CCW brings not only the taxonomic information included
in traditional catalogues, but also illustrations of many taxa (by the time this chapter is being written, 5,138 images
of 1,664 species were included), and a vast reprint library on crane fly taxonomy, biology, systematics and
biogeography (PDF files) which includes all the papers of Charles Paul Alexander, among other authors. The
catalogue presented here for Colombia follows the same format and is primarily based on the information provided
by CCW, with additions regarding type-localities and precise distributions of the species in Colombia as provided
by the primary literature, mainly the original descriptions of the taxa. For some taxa, however, detailed information
on distribution is simply not available. Also, many taxa are known exclusively from their type-localities. Another
important source of information on type-localities and distributions is the catalogue of the Neotropical Region
(Alexander & Alexander 1970). The reader must be aware that the classification adopted here follows that used in
CCW, and differs from the system adopted by Alexander & Alexander (1970). Also, the status of some taxa,
synonyms, and spellings of some taxon names may differ in these two sources, the most updated one being what is
found in CCW.
The crane fly species fauna of Colombia belongs to genera and subgenera typically found in the tropical parts
of the Neotropical Region. All the genera and subgenera known to occur in Colombia are included in the detailed
treatment of Gelhaus (2009) of the Central American fauna, which includes a richly illustrated identification key to
the genera and subgenera (adults) and a synopsis of the fauna with useful information for each taxon.
A total of 131 valid species of crane flies are recorded for Colombia, 38 in the family Tipulidae and 93 in the
Limoniidae (Table 1). Most species (81 species, or 62% of the fauna) are known exclusively from Colombia, and
many are known only from their type-localities. However, considering our fragmentary knowledge about the
Neotropical fauna in general, it is likely that the total number of Colombian species is much larger and that some of
the “endemic” taxa may also occur elsewhere in Central and South America.
Most of the crane flies known from Colombia were described by the same author, the great expert on crane fly
taxonomy Charles Paul Alexander (1889-1981). As for the Neotropical Region in general, the identification of
Colombian crane flies to the level of species can be very difficult, even for experts in crane fly taxonomy. There is
no comprehensive identification tool available for the species, and the original descriptions are often very
superficial. Often, only within the context of a taxonomic revision of the genus in question can the identification of
the species in hand be done accurately. Up to now, the most recent taxonomic revision that included species
occurring in Colombia is that of Ribeiro (2003) for the genus Styringomyia. Thus, it seems unnecessary to say that
additional revisionary studies including members of the local fauna are much needed. Additional sampling efforts
are also necessary in order to improve our knowledge about the Colombian fauna, as for the Neotropical fauna in
general.

Abstract
Two hundred and thirty five species of Ceratopogonids arranged in 28 genera are listed for Colombia, mostly Culicoides
(112 species) and Forcipomyia (50 species). For each listed species, information on type locality, type category and sex,
location of type material, species distribution, localities for Colombia and main references, is provided. Localities are not
specified for 17 species in which the literature searching was negative. Forcipomyia squamitibia Lutz and Bezzia clavipennis are excluded from the list.
Key words: catalogue, Ceratopogonidae, Colombia, distribution, localities, species list
Introduction
The Ceratopogonidae are commonly known as biting midges, no-see-ums or punkies, in Spanish as manta blanca,
polvorines, or jejenes (which also may refer to Simuliidae), and in Portuguese as maruim or mosquito pólvora.
Adult females of Leptoconops Skuse Culicoides Latreille and Forcipomyia Meigen (only in the subgenus
Lasiohelea Kieffer) are haematophagous on vertebrates, needing the blood to develop their eggs. They are nasty
biters that pester humans and domestic animals and, in some instances, transmit harmful diseases (Borkent &
Spinelli 2007). On the other hand, this group of flies provides important services in a wide array of ecosystems.
Some species are important pollinators of such plants as cacao and rubber trees, and the larvae of many are
important predators of other organisms in semiaquatic and aquatic habitats. The adults of most biting midges
actually suck blood from other insects and may even be important vectors of viruses that kill caterpillars (Borkent
et al. 2009).
Borkent and Spinelli (2007), in their catalog of the Neotropical ceratopogonids, listed 1093 species and 132
new species were subsequently described. From the 1225 species that inhabit the Neotropics, 235 arranged in 28
genera are reported from Colombia, mostly Culicoides (112 species) and Forcipomyia (50 species) (Table 1).
We are presenting here the updated catalog of the Ceratopogonidae of Colombia (Table 1). Under the heading
for each generic name, citations for keys to species or the most recent revision of the species in that group are
provided. In some instances these are only for a species group or a limited geographical area. When a reference is
not given, the most recent references are those of the genus and/or species themselves. For each listed species, the
following information is included: type locality, type category and sex, location of type material, species
distribution, localities for Colombia (between brackets) and main references. The latter include the original
description, those mentioning Colombian localities, lists and catalogs. The literature searching for localities of 17
species reported for Colombia was negative, and for these species the first report for the country is included.
Specific epithets of synonyms are accompanied by type locality, type category and sex, and location of type
material. Two species were erroneously recorded for Colombia, Forcipomyia squamitibia Lutz by Marino &
Spinelli (2002) and Bezzia clavipennis in the original description by Spinelli & Wirth (1989b), and they are
excluded from the list.

Abstract
Only 30 chironomid species distributed in 16 genera and three subfamilies are formally recorded to Colombia. Another
32 genera and two subfamilies have been recorded on larval stage, with no identification at species level. Many new records, genera and species are expected when focusing on systematics of chironomids from Colombia.
Key words: catalogue, Chironomidae, Colombia, Distribution, taxonomy
Introduction
According to Ashe & O’Connor (2009), there are eleven subfamilies of Chironomidae, ten of which are known to
occur in the Neotropical region and the remaining subfamily is recorded from a single species from the Usambara
mountains in Tanzania (namely Usambaromyiinae). Among the ten subfamilies from the Neotropical region, one is
endemic and known from a single species from Chile (Chilenomyiinae), all the remaining subfamilies are more
species-rich and occur in at least two of the major biogeographical regions. There are five subfamilies recorded to
Colombia, which are Tanypodinae, Orthocladiinae and Chironominae with described species, and some records of
unidentified Podonominae and Diamesinae (Riss & Ospina 2000; Meza et al. 2012; Posada-García et al. 2008), but
at least three subfamilies that occur in specialized habitats such as marine, lowland and highland taxa should be
expected (namely Telmatogetoninae, Prodiamesinae, Buchonomyinae).
The present Catalogue of Chironomidae of Colombia accounts a total of 30 species distributed in 16 genera
and three subfamilies as occurring in the country (Table 1). Since the catalog compiled by Spies & Reiss (1996),
not much has been added to Colombia. The knowledge of Neotropical chironomid named species increased by
15% in less than 10 years (Spies et al. 2009), but these records are sort of concentrated in Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Costa Rica, Mexico and Venezuela with sporadic new records and species from Ecuador, Honduras, Jamaica,
Nicaragua, Puerto Rico and Uruguay.
Due to the fact that Colombia has a wide range of altitudes, from sea level up to over 3900 meters above sea
level and with shores on both Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the number registered is for sure underestimated.
Ecological studies have been recording 32 genera and two subfamilies new to the country (Table 2), which means
that at least 62 chironomid species occur in Colombia. The case of Brazilian Orthocladiinae diversity is something
that exemplify what may be going on in Colombia soon (where only Cricotopus crassimanus is known): Seven
species were recorded in 1996 (Spies & Reiss 1996), 37 in 2007 (Mendes et al. 2007) and 122 nowadays (Mendes
& Pinho, 2014).
We hope that this Colombian chironomid diversity’s scenario depicted in this catalogue stimulate students to
begin researches on Systematics of Neotropical Chironomidae, with focus on its probable megadiverse fauna from
Colombia.

Abstract
This catalogue presents 70 species distributed in two genera for Colombia: Gigantodax with 5 groups, and Simulium with
6 subgenera and 17 groups. Three species are recorded for the first time: Gigantodax vulcanius, G. gracilis, and Simulium
pautense, and the distributional range is expanded to S.ochraceum, S. paynei, S. metallicum, and S. callidum.
Key words: Catalogue, distribution, Simuliidae, taxonomy
Introduction
Adults have a robust appearance, measuring from 1.2 to 5.5 mm in length; black, dark brown or yellow color. Head
large, round; ocelli absent, compound eyes attached dorsally in males and separated in females; male have dicoptic
eyes and females have holoptic, antennas thick and compacts with 7 to 9 flagellomeres; mouth parts short and thick
adapted to cut skin and blood sucking. Thorax big and arched; wings rounded at the base, with thickened anterior
veins and subsequent weak; legs strong and short. Abdomen robust. Larvae are characterized by their bottle shape;
cylindrical and widened on the back, living mainly in lotic aquatic environments (water currents), from large rivers
to streams, submerged and anchored to materials such as rocks, logs, leaves and even artificial substrate, where
they feed by filtering particles obtained directly from the water. Pupae have the same ecological habit than the
larvae, the body is enclosed in a cocoon; head and thorax forming a cephalothorax, bearing a pair of gills that have
multiple forms, from tree-like shaped to globose (Gigantodax-Simuliini); the cocoon and gill forms are important
taxonomic characters, that could be used to define even at species level.
Most simulids females are hematophagous (females Pedrowygomyia have maxilla and mandible obsolescent),
its bloodsucking behavior makes some species responsible for the transmission to humans of the filarial nematode
Onchocerca volvulus in Africa, central and northern South America, a disease called river blindness, because the
nematode could lodge in the eye and causes blindness. They are known as black-flies, Piuns, Jejenes, Borrachudos
and are diurnal, the female by biting leaves a red dot and is very easy to observe while feeding, as it is on the host
for a long time.
The family is monophyletic (Currie 1988), and most of the analyses divide the family into two monophyletic
subfamilies Simuliinae and Parasimiliinae (Currie 1988). The oldest known fossil from the Cretraceous is an
undescribed species (Cretaceosimulium Vulcano 1985, nomen nudum).
Black flies are known for being involved as an active or mechanic transmitter of some agents; in Colombia
they are involved in transmission of two nematodes to humans: Mansonella ozardi (Tidwell et al. 1980; Tidewll &
Tidwell 1982) and Onchocerca volvulus (recently eliminated of the country) (WHO 2010; WHO 2011). In
addition, these insects have been found as vectors of Leucocytozoon, an avian blood protozoa, in other regions of
the world. (Khan & Fallis 1970; Sato et al. 2009; Murdock et al. 2013). In Colombia, the role as vectors of these
parasites has been suggested by Matta et al. (2014).

The breeding places of blackflies are running water and larvae usually live aggregated in the most oxygenated
areas. Taking into account that Colombia is one of the richest countries in the world in water sources, in addition to
the fact that the country has three different cordilleras, which give to the territory a great variety of climates, as a
consequence a lot of possible breeding places can be found, both in high and in low altitudes. Especially in paramo
region, as Díaz et al. (2015) stated that “High mountains of Andes look like water factories”. Larvae are important
filter feedings in streams, with critical role in resource turnover in steams (McCreadie & Adler 2012).
This article collects the information concerning geographical distribution and altitudinal records of genus
Simulium and Gigantodax present in Colombia. These are the unique genera occurring in the country.
This catalogue is primarily based upon the monograph of Coscarón, Coscarón Arias & Papavero (2008) and
the classification adopted is based on the revision by Adler & Crosskey (2015). The types of species and the
museum are not presented. The Colombian departments are underline and specific localities are in brackets. At the
end we present a table summarizing all species found in Colombia, including rank and author (Table 1).

Abstract
Corethrellidae are poorly known in Colombia, with few specimens deposited in collections, and only nine named species
of Corethrella Coquillett are reported for the country. An additional six undescribed species have been recently collected,
indicating that the number of recorded species in Colombia is underestimated.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, frog-biting midges, Neotropical Region
Introduction
Corethrellidae Edwards, 1932 are found on all continents other than Antarctica, with the majority of species
restricted to latitudes between 30°N and 30°S and altitudes below 1,500 meters. There are 107 extant and seven
fossils species known worldwide, all in the single genus Corethrella Coquillett, 1902, with nine of the extant
species present in Colombia (Borkent 2008, 2014, Borkent & Grafe 2012, Amaral & Pinho 2015, Yu et al. 2013).
Adults may be recognized by their slender and very small body with a wing length of 0.6–2.5 mm. Head small,
round, with large dichoptic eyes, and ocelli absent; antenna with globular pedicel, flagellum plumose in male and
merely setose in female. Thorax convex, with many setae, wing with R four-branched, M two-branched, Cu twobranched, with branches of Rs and M nearly parallel to each other but with R1 closer to Sc and lying nearly midway
between Sc and R2. Legs with midfemur thicker than that of the hind leg. Abdomen tubular and elongate, with setae
and microtrichia (Cook 1981, Borkent 2008, 2009). The immature stages are aquatic, and inhabit tree holes, leaf
axils, old bamboo stems and epiphytic plants, small pools isolated on the margins of streams, and sometimes in
heavily vegetated margins of larger aquatic habitats (Borkent 2008, 2009).
This catalogue is based on Borkent (2008, 2014), the departments are underlined and specific localities are in
brackets (Table 1). Borkent (2008, 2014) noted the presence of further undescribed species in Colombia and a
recent collection of eight specimens indicated a further six undescribed species. This indicates that it is very likely
that numerous further species will be discovered in Colombia.

Abstract
Blephariceridae are poorly known in Colombia, being reasonably well sampled only in Antioquia Department. In the
present catalogue, five species of Limonicola Lutz and eight species of Paltostoma Schiner are reported for the country.
Key words: Blepharicerinae, catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Neotropical Region
Introduction
Blephariceridae Loew (1861) are found in all continents (except Antarctica), and 320 species distributed in 27
genera are reported in the world (Courtney 2009). In the Neotropical Region 76 species in five genera are known,
with 13 species in two genera in Colombia. Adults may be recognized by the slender and small to medium body
3.0–13.0 mm. Head small, round with large and conspicuous eyes dichoptic or subholoptic, three ocelli, antenna
with 11–13 flagellomeres. Thorax convex, wing with netlike pattern of folds, legs long and thin. Abdomen
somewhat compressed, tergites and sternites simple quadrate sclerites, with sparse short setae (Hogue 1981,
Courtney 2009). The immature stages are aquatic, inhabit a variety of streams with fast flowing, often torrential.
Larvae are scrapers, feeding on thin films of periphyton, and attach to smooth rock substrata through the action of
six ventral suctorial discs, which function as suckers (Wagner et al. 2008, Courtney 2009).
The classification adopted here is based on Zwick (1977) (Table 1), specific localities are in brackets.
Blephariceridae are poorly known in all South America, and in Colombia is only reasonably well sampled in
Antioquia Department.

Introduction
This cosmopolitan family of Nematocera comprises more than 3,000 described species (Pape et al. 2011),
distributed among six subfamilies, i.e., Bruchomyiinae, Horaiellinae, Phlebotominae, Psychodinae, Sycoracinae
and Trichomyiinae. The adults are small, measuring 1–5 mm, the body being densely covered with hairs and scales.
The wings have 9–12 longitudinal veins and lack crossveins in the distal half. The psychodids are holometabolous
insects whose life cycle takes place in aquatic, semiaquatic or terrestrial ecosystems. The immatures develop in
diverse microhabitats that range from still or running bodies of freshwater or wastewater to the moist soil at the
bases of trees, rotten tree trunks and domestic microhabitats such as the drains of bathrooms and kitchens. The
adults tend to rest in protected and relatively humid microhabitats, such as under bark and in tree holes, the
undersides of leaves, crevices in rocks, burrows, stables, caves and the interior walls of buildings. Although the
adults feed on plant materials such as nectar, the females of some species and, in rare cases, also certain males, feed
on blood, which they obtain by biting vertebrates including man (Young & Duncan 1994).
Although the psychodids per se constitute a group of taxonomically interesting insects that have sometimes
been considered as potential indicators of habitat quality in tropical forests (Barrett et al. 1996, Alexander et al.
2001b), most of the studies carried out on this family revolve around the vectorial role of the Phlebotominae, which
together with the Psychodinae constitute the subfamilies with the highest species richness as well as the ones of
greatest interest from the medical point of view. The females of some species of sand flies can transmit protozoans,
bacteria or viruses that cause diseases in man (Maroli et al. 2013), most notably leishmaniasis that causes
20,000–40,000 deaths each year (Alvar et al. 2012). Furthermore, due to their adaptation to synanthropic habitats
some species of moth flies can become a sanitary nuisance, producing massive infestations in human dwellings and
even hospitals (Faulde & Spiesberger 2012). Even more important, several of these species have been identified as
causative agents of different types of myiasis, as potential mechanical vectors of bacterial pathogens associated
with nosocomial infections or as sources of allergens in cases of asthma (Kino et al. 1987, Tu et al. 2007, Oğuz et
al. 2012, Faulde & Spiesberger 2013).

Knowledge of the diversity of the non-haematophagous psychodids of the Neotropics remains limited,
although in the last two decades there has been renewed interest in this group of insects, leading to the description
of an increasing number of new taxa. Colombia is no exception to this situation and research on this family remains
at an incipient level, with the exception of the phlebotomines which have been the object of extensive studies and
reviewed in previous compilations (Osorno-Mesa et al. 1972b, Young 1979, Ferro & Morales 1988, Ferro &
Morales 1998, Montoya-Lerma & Ferro 1999, Bejarano 2006a). Due to the renewed interest in the nonhaematophagous species as well as the public health relevance of the phlebotomines, an updated catalogue of the
psychodids of Colombia is badly needed. This could be made available to taxonomists, researchers, medical
entomologists and public health personnel, providing updated information on the distribution of species within
Colombian territory.
The present catalogue includes the haematophagous and non-haematophagous psychodids recorded in
Colombia (Table 1). This list of species is based on a bibliographic review, on examination of specimens in some
entomological collections and field samples made during studies undertaken in collaboration with Colombian
entomologists. The taxa are organized hierarchically and in alphabetical order, under the categories of subfamily,
genus, subgenus, and species or subspecies. Type species with type fixation criteria are given for genera and
subgenera. Some genera are included that were recorded in the country by authors who did not name the species
involved. We also include some species of sand flies that have not been formally described but which in practice
are accepted as species by taxonomists. The subtribes of Psychodinae, objects of often heated debates among
taxonomists, are not approached in this catalogue, nor are the categories of subgenus or species groups of
phlebotomines.
The valid names are highlighted in bold type, with the synonyms and the names that are not accepted in italics.
Each entry lists the author’s name, year and the page number of the publication in which the name was first
proposed as new. For those species that were initially described within another genus, the original generic names
are given in parentheses and italics. The developmental stages and sexes currently known are then provided. The
type locality is then presented, followed by the type material, which includes the type category, the sex described,
and in parentheses the acronym of the museum where the type specimens are deposited. For those sand fly species
described until 1994, information is provided only for the holotype and allotype; detailed information on the
remaining type material can be consulted on the web page of the CIPA group (http://cipa.snv.jussieu.fr).
Comments are provided for each genus on its distribution, the number of species it incorporates and citations of
taxonomic revisions dealing with these taxa. In addition, the geographic distribution of each species by country is
shown, and in the case of Colombia the distribution by department or district presented. Finally, bibliographic
references are compiled for each species.

Comm.: Due to its recognized medical importance, this is the New World psychodid genus that has been most studied. Its
distribution extends from Canada to Argentina (Young & Duncan 1994), although the greatest diversity of species is

concentrated in the Neotropics, particularly in Brazil and Colombia. Although these species have been the object of
numerous revisions (Barretto 1955b, 1962, Theodor 1965, Forattini 1973, Abonnenc & Leger 1976, Lewis et al. 1977,
Martins et al. 1978, Young 1979, Artemiev 1991, Young & Duncan 1994, Galati 1995, CIPA group 1999), its taxonomy
remains as controversial as ever. Two taxonomic proposals are currently extant, one of which suggests that Lutzomyia is a
single genus comprised of 26 subgenera and species groups (Young & Duncan 1994) and the other dividing the taxon into
19 genera (Galati 1995, 2003a). The present catalogue adopts the former approach, without giving any consideration to the
putative subgenera of Lutzomyia. However, there is clearly a need for detailed molecular studies that involve
representatives of all the subgenera or genera described to allow its evolutionary history to be unravelled (Bejarano 2002).
Young & Duncan (1994), CIPA group (1999) and Galati (2003a,b) all carried out detailed revisions of the taxonomy and
geographic distribution of this group of insects. Of the almost 500 species described from the Neotropics, 153 have been
recorded from Colombia, besides six that have not been formally described, i.e., Lu. sp. no. 1 from Araracuara Morales &
Minter, 1981, Lu. sp. no. 2 from Araracuara Morales & Minter, 1981, Lu. sp. from Pichindé Young, 1979, Lu. sp. from Tres
Esquinas Young, 1979, Lu. sp. from Anchicayá Young, 1979 and Lu. sp. from Baduel (Floch & Abonnenc, 1945a). The
two undescribed species from Araracuara, known from both males and females, have only been collected from the
Department of Caquetá, whereas Lu. sp. of Pichindé, for which both sexes are also known, has been recorded from Norte
de Santander (Gálvis-Ovallos et al. 2013), Risaralda, Santander (Sandoval et al. 2006) and Valle del Cauca. The
undescribed species Lu. sp. of Tres Esquinas, known only from female specimens, has been reported from Caquetá,
Guaviare (Cabrera et al. 2009), Meta (Cabrera et al. 2009) and Putumayo. Two of the six undescribed species have also
been collected outside Colombia: Lu. sp. of Anchicayá, known only from the male, which has been recorded from Ecuador
(Young & Duncan 1994) as well as Valle del Cauca, Colombia; and Lu. sp. from Baduel, considered by some authors to be
conspecific to Lu. sericea (Floch & Abonnenc, 1944a) (Leon et al. 2009), reported from Brazil, French Guiana and
Suriname as well as the Colombian departments of Guaviare (Cabrera et al. 2009) and Vichada.

Apsycha Ježek, 2007: 146. Type species, Psychoda pusilla Tonnoir, 1922 (orig. des.).
Comm.: With a wide global distribution, this constitutes one of the most species-rich genera of non- haematophagous
psychodids with about 450 described species (Salmela et al. 2012), some of which have become adapted to synanthropic
habitats, e.g. Psychoda alternata Say, 1824, Ps. albipennis Zetterstedt, 1850 and Ps. cinerea Banks, 1894, and associated
with cases of human myiasis, i.e. Ps. alternata and Ps. albipennis (Kamimura 1967, Oğuz et al. 2012, Yones et al. 2014).
The genus has been subjected to different revisions (Quate 1959, Vaillant 1972, Ježek 1984, Bravo et al. 2006), which
range from the recognition of a single genus Psychoda s.l. made up of 12 subgenera (Bravo et al. 2006), to a división of the
taxon in 13 genera (Ježek 1984, 2007, Ježek & van Harten 2005). Seven of the 75 species found in the Neotropics (Bravo
et al. 2006, 2010a, Cordeiro & Bravo 2008, Ibáñez-Bernal 2008, Cordeiro et al. 2011, Ježek et al. 2011) have been
recorded from Colombia and are listed here, without consideration of their subgeneric classification.

Comm.: This constitutes one of the most diverse genera of the fauna of Neotropical non-haematophagous psychodids, with 74
extant species (Araújo & Bravo 2013) and 8 fossil ones described (Quate 1961, 1963, Stebner & Solórzano-Kraemer
2014). Although four new subgenera have been proposed from the Neotropics (Bravo 1999, 2001, Araújo & Bravo 2013,
Bravo & Araújo 2013a), most of the species described remain ungrouped, including two of the five species recorded in
Colombia.

Abstract
An updated catalogue of the family Scatopsidae in Colombia is presented. Seven species of six genera have being recorded
for the country, but four of these species are still undescribed. The Ectaetiinae genus Ectaetia, the Psectrosciarinae genera
Anapausis and Psectrosciara, and at least the Scatopsinae genera Scatopse, Efcookella, and Abrhexoza are expected to be
present in the fauna of the family in Colombia.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Distribution, Scatopsidae, taxonomy
Introduction
Scatopsids are tiny midges, usually black or blackish brown, exceptionally with areas with yellow, shiny or dull,
from 0.6 to 3.0 mm long. The maxillary palpus is 1–segmented in the entire family and the antenna have 5–10
flagellomeres usually short and with a regular row of setae. The radial veins in the wing are well sclerotized, but
the medial and cubital veins are typically faint. The abdominal membrane has a unique condition, the microtrichia
being modified forming parallel long stripes along each segment. They do not fly well, but may run over the
substrate. Scatopsid larvae live in a variety of substrates, including decaying plant or animal material, humid wood
holes etc. Pupae are found envolved in the exuvia of the last larval instar, a feature shared with Canthyloscelidae.
The relationships of the Scatopsoidea with the Bibionomorpha was originally based on the wing venation
(Hennig 1954, 1973). Larval features (Wood & Borkent 1989) and the fusion of the meron to the thoracic pleural
sclerites (Amorim 1994), however, strongly suggest a relationship with the suborder Psychodomorpha (see
Amorim & Yeates 2006). Some recent analyses (e.g., Wiegmann et al. 2011) using molecular data point out to a
relationship with the Bibionomorpha, but the taxon sampling of these papers are sufficiently poor to allow a
misplacement of some important families in the system. The connections of Scatopsidae and Canthyloscelidae, on
the other hand, have never been questioned (e.g., Hennig 1954, 1973; Wood & Borkent 1989; Amorim 1994).
Recently, the family Valeseguyidae has been proposed by Amorim & Grimaldi (2006) to be the sister group of the
clade composed of Canthyloscelidae + Scatopsidae.
The Scatopsidae presently include 36 genera in the world that encompass almost 400 described species. The
family, however, is certainly much more diverse, having received little attention in the field or in sorting. Amorim
(1994) proposed a phylogenetic classification for the family based on Amorim (1982), with four taxa with
subfamilial status. The Aspistinae have two Holarctic genera, the Ectaetiinae have a single genus, and the
Psectrosciarinae have two tribes, each with a single genus.
The Scatopsinae enclose four tribes and have the bulk of the diversity in the family. The tribes are
Rhegmoclematini, Scatopsini, Colobostematini, and Swammerdamellini. Rhegmoclematini is further divided into
four subtribes, Holoclematina, Diamphidicina, Rhegmoclematina, and Parascatopsina. In the Rhegmoclematini,
Holoclema Amorim & Haenni is endemic to the neotropics and Diamphidicus Cook is known from Chile and
Australia. Parmaferia Cook is absent in the Neotropical region, while both other genera of the
tribe—Thripomorpha Enderlein and Rhegmoclema Enderlein—have Neotropical species, as well as Parascatopse
Cook, and Neorhegmoclemina Cook. Austroclemina Cook is known only from Australia, while Rhegmoclemina is

typically Holarctic, with a species known from Mexico. The Scatopsini have four genera, of which Apiloscatopse
Cook, Reichertella Enderlein and Pharsoreichertella Cook are absent in the Neotropical region. Scatopse is known
from an introduced, Cosmopolitan species, S. notata Linnaeus. In the Colobostematini, the genera Colobostema
Enderlein, Cookella Freeman, and Holoplagia Enderlein are present in the recent fauna. The extinct genus
Procolobostema Cook is known from Mexico and Dominican Republic amber fossils. Ferneiella Cook,
Borneoscatopse Freeman, and Lumpuria Edwards are absent in the Neotropics. In the Swammerdamellini, the
genera Pararhexosa Freeman, Swammerdamella Enderlein, Coboldia Melander, Akorhexoza Cook, Abrhexosa
Freeman, Quateiella Cook and Brahemyia Amorim have species known from the Neotropical region, while
Hawomersleya Cook is exclusive from Australia and Rhexosa Enderlein is known from the Nearctic and Palearctic
regions.
Fossil records that may belong to the stem–group of the family, with a branched R5, are known from Upper
Jurassic/Lower Cretaceous (Rohdendorf 1946; Kalugina & Kovalev 1985), included in a separate extinct family,
Protoscatopsidae. This is congruent with the presence of Canthyloscelidae in the Jurassic (Amorim 2000a), in such
a way that this would be the same age for the sister family, the Scatopsidae. The earliest scatopsid compression
fossils known are from the Lower Cretaceous, described by Kovalev (1986). There are unpublished Cretaceous
amber fossils of the subfamily Ectaetiinae from different deposits (see reviews in Amorim 1998; Nel & Prokop
2004).
Records and genera of Scatopsidae expected to occur in Colombia
For Colombia, seven species of six genera have being recorded, though four of these species are still undescribed
(Table 1). Additionally, there are genera still without records, but that are expected to occur due to their presence in
close by areas.
Subfamily Ectatiinae Enderlein
The genus Ectaetia Enderlein is known from different parts of the Neotropical Region and is expected to occur in
Colombia, even though there are no records yet.
Subfamily Psectrosciarinae Cook
The Neotropical species of Anapausis Enderlein, 1912 were revised by Amorim & Balbi (2006), with species
known from Chile, southern Brazil, Panama and Costa Rica. The genus is most certainly present in Colombia.
Psectrosciara Kieffer, 1911 is known from Mexico, Costa Rica and Belize, besides a species from Chile, and shall
be found in the Colombian fauna of the family.
Subfamily Scatopsinae Newman

Thripomorpha Enderlein, 1905
Neorhegmoclemina Cook, 1955
Tribe Scatopsini Cook
There are no records of Scatopse Geoffroy, 1762 for Colombia, but S. notata Linnaeus is a species with worldwide
distribution and should be found in Colombia at some stage.

Species of the genus Efcookella Haenni, 1998 are known from South America and it would be no surprise that it
comes to be found in Colombia.
Tribe Swammerdamellini Cook
Swammerdamella Enderlein, 1912
Coboldia Melander, 1916
Brahemyia Amorim, 2007
At least the genus Abrhexoza Freeman, 1990 should also be present in Colombia.

Abstract
The family Rhagionidae is one of the oldest Brachyeran lineages. Its monophyly is still uncertain. There are four
rhagionid genera distributed in Neotropical Region but only three species of Chrysopilus are found in Colombia.
Key words: catalogue, Chrysopilus, Colombia, distribution, Neotropical, Rhagionidae
Introduction
Rhagionidae (snipe flies) is one of the families that constitute the infraorder Tabanomorpha, along with
Austroleptidae, Vermileonidae, Pelecorhynchidae, Oreoleptidae, Tabanidae and Athericidae (Stuckenberg 2001,
Zloty et al. 2005). The group comprises one of the most ancient lineages within Brachycera, with a fossil species
from Lower Triassic (Krzeminski & Krzeminska 2003).
The monophyly of Rhagionidae has been an issue of discussion (Nagatomi 1982, Stuckenberg 2001, Santos
2008, Kerr 2010). Kerr (2010) published the first cladistics analysis focusing specifically on the relationships
among the rhagionid genera, based both on morphological and molecular evidences. According to him,
Rhagionidae is monophyletic, but unpublished data from one of us (Santos) suggests that a group of rhagionid
genera is more closely related to the clade (Oreoleptidae+(Athericidae+Tabanidae)) than to the other rhagionids.
Such result corroborates the paraphyly of the family as proposed by Wiegmann et al. (2000)
The biology of the Rhagionidae is poorly known. The larvae are reported as predators (Stuckenberg 2001, Kerr
2010). Adults of some Chrysopilus and Rhagio predate other insects, and at least one genus, Symphoromyia
Frauenfeld, is hematophagous (Stuckenberg 2001). Species size range from small to medium (4–20 mm), and the
adults rest on shrubs in rain forests (Santos 2008, Kerr 2010). Rhagionids can be differentiated by the absence of a
scale on the postspiracular esclerite (Kerr 2010, Carvalho et al. 2012). In some genera, the female terminalia has an
invagination in the proximal segment of the cercus, the posteroventral cercal lobe, also present in the
Pelecorhynchidae (Carmo & Santos 2011, Fig. 9 A–D). Nagatomi (1982) and Kerr (2010) present diagnostic keys
to the genera of Rhagionidae.
There are approximately 720 extant species in the family, distributed in 22 genera (Santos 2008). Four of these
are found in the Neotropics: Chrysopilus Macquart, Rhagio Fabricius, Atherimorpha White and Sierramyia Kerr
(Lindner) (Santos & Amorim 2007, Santos 2006, 2008). Rhagio and Chrysopilus are the most diversified and
widespread rhagionids (Nagatomi 1982, Santos 2008).
Until the present moment, Chrysopilus is the only genus of Rhagionidae found in Colombia, with three
reported species (James 1968, Santos 2008) (Table 1). This genus is diagnosed by gonocoxites fused with the
sternite IX (Carmo & Santos 2011, Fig. 3 A,C) and by wing features such as R4+5 fork almost in a right angle
(Santos & Amorim 2007).

Abstract
This catalogue presents 256 species distributed in 32 genera, six tribes and three subfamilies recorded to Colombia. For
each species we present the available geographical information and most important references.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Tabanidae, distribution
Introduction
Tabanidae are a large Tabanomorpha family, (Diptera, Brachycera) with a worldwide distribution and
approximately 4350 described species. For the neotropics there are aproximately 1500 species. Adults can be
recognized by their stout bodies, measuring between 3–30 mm length; a big head occupied mainly by the
compound eyes, separated by front in females and males. The eyes may present transversal stripes with yellow and
green coloration patterns. Antennae are composed by scape, pedicel and flagellum, this latter consists of one large
basal segment and ends with a series of cancelled segments. Proboscis are strong and thick, adapted to penetrate
tissues.
Females are hematophagous while males are phytophagous; however, in many species, male and female feed
exclusively on nectar. Adults are found from open areas to forests and have diurnal behavior, but some few species
are crepuscular or nocturnal. Larvae are predators of diverse animals (arthropods, mollusks and annelids). This
family has been well studied in part, because some species could be vectors of human and animals diseases.
Studies on taxonomy as well as medical aspects of the family were particularly intensive in Colombia between
the 1950s and the end of the century. One of the major studies was made by Bequaert & Renjifo (1946), who
covered a significant area of the national territory, they listed 129 species with their respective localities. Also
relevant are the works made by Lee, Fairchild & Barretto (1969) in the Valle del Cauca state and the monograph of
Wilkerson (1979), about the horseflies of the Western Colombian, with emphasis in the departments of Chocó,
Valle del Cauca and Cauca; in which includes some records to Antioquia, supplied by Porter. According to the
information recorded in Colombia there are 256 species (Table 1). However, it is expected that number to be much
higher, since there are many unexplored areas, such as the mountain ranges of the Andes, the Caribbean coast or
the amazonian forests.
This catalog and the classification with synonyms adopted is based on Henriques & Rafael (1995) revision of
genus Acanthocera, Coscaron & Papavero (2009) catalogue of neotropical Diptera, Krolow & Henriques (2010)
revision of genus Chlorotabanus, Turcatel et al (2010) revision of genus Stibasoma, Krolow et al (2015) revision of
genus Pityocera and includes information about specific localities on each department. The departments are
underline and specific localities are in brackets. At the end we present a table with all species, rank and author.

Abstract
This family is recorded for the first time to Colombia, with only one undescribed species of genus Rachicerus.
Key words: Catalogue, Colombia, diversity, Rachicerus, Xylophagidae
Introduction
Xylophagidae Fallén, 1810 are a small family of lower Brachycera infraorder Xylophagomorpha (Woodley 1989,
Woodley et al. 2009), with a widespread distribution in the world, except in the Afrotropical Region. These flies
have body length ranging from 2 to 25 mm and are easily recognized by the antennal flagellum composed of 7–8 or
more than 15 flagellomeres, tibial spurs 1–2–2, pulvilliform empodium, the unmodified wing venation—M3 can be
open or closed at wing margin—and by the lack of a scale-like elevation behind the metathoracic spiracle
(Woodley 2009). Additionally, Rachicerus Walker, 1854, the largest genus, is recognized by the pectinate antennal
flagellum with more than eight flagellomeres. Immature stages of xylophagid species are known mainly for
Coenomyia Latreille, 1797, Rachicerus and Xylophagus, Meigen, 1803, where they are frequently found under
bark of fallen tree (Xylophagus) or associated with decaying wood (Rachicerus), as predators of other insect larvae
(James 1981, Woodley 2009). In the neotropics, the immature stages are still poorly known with only the
description of pupa of Heterostomus curvipalpis Bigot, 1857 (Coscarón et al. 2013). The adults usually are found
on vegetation, particularly near water or fallen trees (Carrera 1945, James 1981, Nagatomi 1982).
There are 133 described species of Xylophagidae in the world, in nine genera (Woodley 2011), with most of
them into two genera, Rachicerus (69 species) and Xylophagus (24 species). The richest regions are the Palearctic
and the Oriental Region, with 46 and 62 described species, respectively (Woodley 2011). Only eleven species in
three genera have been described to the Neotropical Region (Woodley 2011), of which six species were described
to Brazil—all of them by Carrera (1940, 1945)—and other five species described for different countries (Table 1).
Xylophagus vetustus Walker, 1854 from Brazil was stated by Woodley (2011) as a Therevidae species.
Additionally, one undescribed species of Rachicerus is recorded to Colombia, as stated in this work (see below).
The catalog records only one undescribed species of Rachicerus (Table 2). The family Xylophagidae, as well
as the genus Rachicerus are recorded for the first time to Colombia.
The recorded species and the classification adopted were based mainly the on information of the world
catalogue of the family (Woodley 2011). Additional literature and material belonging to the Instituto de
Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt (IAvH) also were consulted. The geopolitical
departments are underline and specific localities are in brackets.

Abstract
This catalogue features 11 species distributed in 2 genera recorded to Colombia. Three species of Pantophthalmus are recorded for the first time to the country.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Pantophthalmidae
Introduction
Pantophthalmidae are a family of Diptera exclusive to the Neotropical Region, with 20 species and two genera:
Opetiops with one species from South America, and Pantophthalmus with 19 species occurring from southern
Mexico to northern Argentina (Val 1976, 1992). Eight species are recorded from Colombia (Papavero 2009).
Adults may be recognized as stout flies, body size between 20–55 mm in length; big head occupied largely by the
eyes, holoptic in males and dichoptic in females, with three ocelli; face with conic or round beak; antennae with
two short basal joints and the third 8-segmented; short proboscis and palpi with two segments; thorax usually with
brown or black longitudinal stripes; wing with small calypter, short prefurca; veins R4 and R5 divergent enclosing
wing tip, fourth posterior cell closed, anal cell closed; legs slender with or without apical spurs in posterior femora.
It is not clear if the adults feed or not (Val 1992), the eggs are laid on a wide diversity of trees (Papavero 1967), and
the larvae live and excavate horizontal galleries in living and dead trees (Woodley 2009).
This catalogue and the classification adopted are based on the Systematics and Evolution of Pantophthalmidae
by Val (1976) and the Catalogue of Neotropical Pantophthalmidae by Papavero (2009), the holotypes sex was
taking of Val 1976. Three species are recorded for the first time to Colombia, Pantophthalmus chuni, P. comptus
and P. engeli. For each species, distributional data, when available, include departments (underline) and specific
localities (in brackets).

Abstract
The family Stratiomyidae has more than 2,800 described species, of which 1001 species belongs to the Neotropics. This
catalog for Colombia presents 87 species distributed in 32 genera, and ten subfamilies. Merosargus gracilis and the genus
Microchrysa, with a single species M. bicolor are recorded for the first time to Colombia. The fauna is very expressive
but still poorly known, representing nearly one tenth of the Neotropical diversity of the family in numbers of species, and
one fifth of generic diversity.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, diversity, Stratiomyidae
Introduction
Stratiomyidae are a family of lower Brachycera, with small to fairly big flies and body length varying from 2 to 34
mm. They are recognized mainly by the wing venation, with their radial veins concentrated in the anterior part of
the wing and a small discal cell from which medial veins radiate (Woodley 2009). The family is placed within the
infraorder Stratiomyomorpha, as sister-group of the Xylomyidae (Woodley 1989; Woodley et al. 2009).
There are more than 2,800 described species of Stratiomyidae in the world, included in 377 genera (Woodley
2001, 2011). From these total, 1001 species in 162 genera occur in the Neotropical region. The family has often
been divided into 12 subfamilies: Antissinae, Beridinae, Chiromyzinae, Chrysochlorininae, Clitellarinae,
Hermetiinae, Nemotelinae, Pachygastrinae, Parhadrestiinae, Raphiocerinae, Sarginae e Stratiomyinae (Woodley
2001). Brammer & Dohler (2010) published the most recent phylogenetic analysis of the family, improving the
understanding of the relationships in the group. In their hypothesis, the subfamilies Antissinae, Stratiomyinae,
Sarginae and Clitellariinae, in the way they have traditionally being defined, may correspond to non-monophyletic
groups.
The catalog records 87 described species, included in 32 genera, and ten subfamilies to Colombia. A summary
table of the data given here is presented in Table 1. Furthermore, Merosargus gracilis Schiner, 1868b and the genus
Microchrysa Loew, 1855a, with a single species M. bicolor (Wiedemann), 1830 are recorded for the first time to
Colombia. The examined material of these species belongs to the National Museum of Natural History,
Washington, D.C, United States (USNM) and Canadian National Collection, Arachnids and Nematodes, Ottawa,
Ontario, Canada (CNC), respectively.
The records of the species and the classification adopted here were based mainly on information of the family
catalogues to Neotropical region (James 1973) and to the world (Woodley 2001, 2011). Additional literature and
material were also consulted. The departments of Colombia are underline and specific localities are in brackets.
The term “allotype”, “paratype” and syntype were used in this catalogue only for the specimens that were
designated as such in the original description.

Comm.: Spyridopa Gerstaecker, 1857 is treated as synonym by James et al. (1980: 4) and Woodley (2011: 400), however, the
genus is considered valid here. The latter author of this work examined the type of Spyridopa, Spyridopa tarsalis
Gerstaecker, 1857, (Pujol-Luz & Assis-Pujol, 2002: 2). Tijucameru Pujol-Luz & Galinkin, 2004 also treated as synonym
by Woodley (2011: 400) is considered valid here. This genus erected for Panacris maxima Kertész, 1908a was based in the
genitalia differences, as well as the other morphological differences (Pujol-Luz & Galinkin, 2004: 35–36), when compared
to the other type-species of Panacris and Spyridopa. Therefore, we recognize Spyridopa and Tijucameru as distinct
genera.

Comm.: We do not agree at all with the opinion of Woodley (2001: 346, footnote 126) on the synonymy of Stratiomicrodon
Pujol-Luz & Papavero, 1998 with Stratiomys Geoffroy, 1762. Stratiomicrodon erected for Stratiomys convexa Wulp, 1881
has important diagnostic features when compared with other species of Stratiomys, especially by its four flagellomeres of
the antenna and the scutellar spines very close on the scutellum, exclusive conditions of the genus. Therefore, we
recognize the genus Stratiomicrodon as valid, with a single species Stratiomicrodon convexus (Wulp, 1881).

Abstract
This family is poor known in Colombia with only two known species of two genera, Solva tuberculata and Arthropeina
colombiana.
Key words: Arthropeina, Catalogue, Colombia, diversity, Solva, Xylomyidae
Introduction
Xylomyidae Verral, 1901 are a family of lower Brachycera infraorder Stratiomyomorpha, sister-group of the
Stratiomyidae (Woodley 1989, Woodley et al. 2009). These flies have body length ranging from 4 to 14 mm, and
color quite varied. They are easily recognized by the presence of spurs on middle and hind tibia, by the conical
antenna—with most of flagellomeres uniform in shape and color—, by the elongated discal cell, and by cell m3
closed before the wing margin. Quite few is known about the biology of these flies in the Neotropical region, but
often the adults are associated with wooded areas and the immatures occur under bark of fallen trees (Webb 1984,
Woodley 2009, 2011).
Currently, there are 143 described species of Xylomyidae in the world, in four genera, with most of these
species recorded to the Paleartic and Oriental regions, 46 and 50 described species, respectively (Woodley 2011,
and more recent papers). Only 16 species in three genera have been recorded to the Neotropical Region:
Arthropeina Lindner, 1949 (six species), Solva Walker 1859 (seven species) and Xylomya Rondani, 1861 (three
species) (Table 1). Despite of the more recent work revising the genus Arthropeina (Fachin & Amorim, 2014), the
family as a whole still is poorly known in the Neotropical Region.
Papavero & Artigas (1991) were the first to discuss the genera relationships in Xylomyidae under a
phylogenetic perspective, using mainly characters of female genitalia. Recently, Woodley (2011) proposed a new
phylogenetic hypothesis for the Xylomyidae genera, making a reanalysis of some characters already available in
the literature. In his proposal, Solva + Arthropeina and Coenomyiodes + Xylomya appear as sister-groups.
The catalog records two species from Colombia: Solva tuberculata Webb, 1984 and Arthropeina colombiana
Fachin & Amorim, 2014 (see below).
The recorded species and the classification adopted were based mainly on information of the catalogue of
Neotropical region (James 1975) and the world catalogue of the family (Woodley 2011). Additional literature also
was consulted. The geopolitical departments are underline and specific localities are in brackets. The terms
“allotype” and “paratype” were used in this catalogue only for the specimens that were designated as such in the
original description. A summary table of the data given here is presented in Table 2.

Abstract
A catalog of the Acroceridae from Colombia is provided. Five species and five genera are recorded for the country,
including one undescribed Ocnaea species.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Distribution, Neotropical, Spider flies, spider parasitoid
Introduction
Spider-flies are very diverse in shape, size and color, although all species have a greatly enlarged calypter and
broad eyes that encompass almost the entire head. Some species are balloon-shaped with greatly swollen
abdomens, while others may be slender bodied and extremely hunchbacked. Body size is particularly variable,
ranging from 2 to 20 mm. Coloration may be metallic, varying from blue, purple, green, red, gold, orange, to
yellow, while some species may be black or brown (Schlinger 1981, Nartshuk 1997). Some species mimic wasps,
bees, and even beetles (e.g., Leucopsina, Mesophysa, Pterodontia) (Cole 1919).
In general, species of Acrocerinae are small, have a minute head, scarce pilosity covering the body, and a
swollen abdomen. Panopinae species, on the other hand, are usually bigger and covered by dense pilosity, and may
have a slender or very swollen abdomen. Species of Philopotinae are very conspicuous flies with a hunchback body
shape, in which the postpronotal lobes are greatly developed and fused medially forming a collar behind the head,
and with a great variety of sizes and colors. In most acrocerid species, the eyes are holoptic in both sexes and may
be pilose or bare. The antennae may be inserted at the upper portion of the head, in the middle of the frons, or at the
lower part of the head. Proboscis length is extremely variable, ranging from longer than body length to smaller than
the antennae; in some species, however, the mouthparts are lacking or are vestigial, not forming a proboscis. The
wings may be hyaline or maculated, and the presence or absence of wing markings may be a dimorphic character in
some species (e.g., Philopota). The wing venation is remarkably variable; some genera have a relatively complete
set of wing veins, in which costa, R1, R2+3, R4, R5, M1, M2, M3, CuA1, CuA2 and A1 are present, while others have a
varying degree of wing losses. In Acroceridae, cell r4+5 is generally bisected by crossvein 2r-m, and the presence of
this additional crossvein may be a synapomorphy of the group. The costal vein can be complete, ending at the anal
lobe, or it can be incomplete and end at the wing tip. In some genera, M3 is fused to CuA1 before wing margin,
leading to the formation of a cell m3.
The adults feed on nectar and may be efficient pollinators with variable mouthpart length, but some species do
not feed. Sexual dimorphism takes place in many species, but in some species the sexes are quite indistinguishable.
Immatures are internal parasitoids of spiders with a hypermetamorphic life cycle comprised of four larval instars.
The first instar is a small, free-living planidium that either actively search for the spider host or sit and wait for it to
pass by (Schlinger 1987, Cady et al. 1993).
Acroceridae are worldwide distributed and comprise approximately 530 species in 55 genera (Schlinger et al.
2013). Neotropical fauna comprises all three subfamilies and is represented by 19 genera and approximately 100
species. There are five species and five genera recorded for Colombia, but the actual diversity is presumably much
greater. The family is traditionally divided into three subfamilies (Acrocerinae, Panopinae and Philopotinae), but
the monophyly of Acrocerinae has recently been questioned (Winterton et al. 2007).

Material from several collections in Brazil and in the USA was examined, including Evert I. Schlinger's
collection, currently housed in the California Academy of Sciences (CAS). Within these material, only one
specimen from Colombia was found, a new species of the genus Ocnaea. Thus, the list of Colombian species is
based mainly on data from the literature. Three catalogs were consulted: Hunter (1901), Kertész (1909) and Arnaud
(1979), and records obtained from the Diptera Site (Pape & Thompson 2011) were also included.
Four described and one undescribed species are recorded for Colombia. The undescribed species belongs to the
genus Ocnaea and was not included in the catalog. A list of the Colombian species is presented in Table 1.

Abstract
Nemestrinidae (Diptera, Nemestrinoidea) are a relatively rare group of flies, and the knowledge on the Colombian fauna
is still incipient. According to the available literature, only one species is recorded to this country, Hyrmophlaeba
magdalena Bernardi, 1977.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Nemestrinidae, tangle-veined flies
Introduction
The Nemestrinidae, also known as tangle-veined flies, comprise a group of brachycerous flies with a worldwide
distribution (Bernardi 1973). The family has around 250 described species, distributed in 23 genera (Woodley
2009). In South America, five genera and 60 species are recorded (Bernardi 1973, 1977). The genera are
geographically segregated and where they occur, they are dominant (Bernardi 1973). Besides the extant species,
around 30 fossil species have been described, mainly from the Upper Jurassic and Cretaceous (Ansorge &
Mostovski 2000).
The Nemestrinidae are medium-sized flies (4–16 mm), and their body is usually covered with dense pilosity
(Woodley 2009). The head is wide, sometimes wider than the thorax (Bernardi 1973), with large eyes, bare to
densely pilose, ranging from clearly holoptic to widely dicoptic in males; mouthparts varying from vestigial to very
long (Bernardi 1973; Woodley 2009). The thorax is unmodified, with long and slender legs (Woodley 2009). The
wings are usually longer than the body, ranging from hyaline to opaque, with a complex and characteristic
venation, which includes a so-called diagonal vein formed by many fusions of veins of the radial and medial areas
(Bernardi 1973; Woodley 2009). Their unique wing venation pattern is considered as an autapormophy of the
group (Yeates 1994).
Adults frequently visit flowers of many different groups, feeding upon the nectar, and are known to live in
open areas (Bernardi 1973). Larvae are endoparasites of grasshopper and beetles (Evenhuis 1994), and all species
for which the biology is known have hypermetamorphosis (Woodley 2009).
This catalogue and the classification adopted follow Papavero & Bernardi (2009), including information on
type.

Abstract
Asilidae is one of the largest Diptera families with more than 7,000 recognized species worldwide. All their species are
predators on arthropods, mainly insects. This catalogue presents 71 species distributed in 26 genera, ten tribes or generic
groups and four subfamilies. For each species we present the available geographical information and relevant references.
Key words: Asilidae, Robber Flies, catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Biodiversity
Introduction
Asilidae are a distinct part of the global insect fauna with slightly more than 7,000 species distributed over all
biogeographic regions, making Asilidae one of the most diverse taxa within Diptera (Dikow 2004). All species of
Asilidae are predators: they feed on other insects, or occasionally other kinds of arthropods, such as arachnids.
Predation is well known for the adult robber fly, and a large number of studies have investigated this behavior.
Asilid larvae are likewise predaceous, based on available knowledge, which is far more limited than that for the
adult (Fisher 2009).
Colombia is listed as one of the world’s “megadiverse” countries, hosting close to 14% of the planet’s
biodiversity. Colombia possesses a rich complexity of ecological, climatic, biological and ecosystem components,
but only 72 species and 26 genera of robber flies are known from Colombia (Table 1), which represents less than
5% of the Neotropical fauna of this family. These numbers show how the Colombian fauna is still poorly known
and emphasize the necessity of extensive sampling projects to be developed in this megadiverse country.
This catalogue is primarily based upon the Neotropical catalogue of Papavero (2009).

Abstract
Bombyliidae is one of the largest Diptera families with more than 4,500 recognized species worldwide. Their species vary
from robust to thin, and may be small to large (2-20mm) and looks like bees or wasps. They also present great variation
in color. Adults can often be seen either resting and sunning themselves on trails, rocks or twigs or feeding on flowering
plants as they are nectar feeders. All reared bee flies are predators or parasitoids of arthropods. The Colombian fauna of
bombyliids comprises at the moment 22 species, and 12 genera, of which, six are endemic species. Nonetheless, this number may be much higher, as Colombia is a megadiverse country and there are not many specimens of this family deposited
in collections all over the world.
Key words: Catalogue, Bee Flies, Biodiversity, Colombia
Introduction
Bee flies, as the members of the family Bombyliidae are commonly called, comprise a diverse and speciose
assemblage of brachycerous flies. They are one of the largest families of Diptera, with more than 4,500 species
found on all continents except Antarctica and also many oceanic islands (Evenhuis & Greathead 1999). They have
a remarkable range in size, color and shapes, being powerful and extremely agile in flight.
Individuals can often be seen either resting in the open on trails or on rocks or twigs sunning themselves, or
feeding on a variety of flowering plants. Adults are pollinators of many flower plants as a consequence of being
nectar feeders (males) and obligate nectar and pollen feeders (females) (Evenhuis & Greathead 1999).
Immatures are mainly parasitoids on the immatures of other holometabolous insects, but some species are
known to prey on the egg pods of orthopterans (Yeates & Greathead 1997). As a result of being parasitoids, many
species are important natural enemies of major pests, but others develop in nests of solitary wasps and bees and are
occasionally considered to be pests when they kill the larvae of bees which are natural pollinators for crops as
alfalfa in the United States (Evenhuis & Greathead 1999).
Colombia is listed as one of the world’s “megadiverse” countries, hosting close to 14% of the planet’s
biodiversity. Colombia possesses a rich complexity of ecological, climatic, biological and ecosystem components,
but only 22 species and 12 genera of bee flies are known from Colombia (Table 1) which represents less than 2.5%
of the Neotropical fauna of this family. These numbers show how the Colombian fauna is still poorly known and
emphasize the necessity of extensive sampling projects to be developed in this megadiverse country.

Abstract
Mydidae (Diptera, Asiloidea) are a relatively rare group of flies, and the knowledge on the Colombian mydids is very poor.
According to available literature, only two species are registered to this country, Protomydas coerulescens (Olivier, 1811)
and P. rubidapex (Wiedemann, 1830).
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Mydidae, Protomydas
Introduction
Mydidae (Diptera, Asiloidea) are a relatively rare group of flies, currently comprising 11 subfamilies, 66 genera
and about 460 valid species (Dikow 2010). This family includes the largest flies in the world: Gauromydas heros,
endemic to Brazil, can reach 70 mm in body length (Autuori 1952). Some species are mimics of Hymenoptera,
especially Pompilidae (Zikán 1942; Cooper 1981; Meyer et al. 1984; Nelson 1986).
Adult mydids can be identified by the following features: head usually with sunken vertex; face medially
gibbous (gibbosity), with setulae forming a mystax; medial ocellus regular, but lateral ocelli often highly modified,
linear and adjacent to a central callus (except in Megascelinae and Rhaphiomidinae); antenna with elongate
postpedicel, often with basal stalk and apical thickened club; palpus one-segmented, frequently vestigial; hind
femur sometimes thickened, with ventral tuberculate spiniform setae; hind tibia sometimes with ventral carina,
often prolonged on apical spine; wing with apical branches of M peculiarly curved anteriorly, parallel to distal
portion of R5 and posterior wing margin; Tergite 2 with a pair of callosities (bullae) on posterior margin (absent in
Megascelinae and Rhaphiomididae); male hypopygium lacking lateral ejaculatory apodeme and gonostylus.
The majority of the species occur in warmer climates (Dikow 2010), and are commonly associated to open
vegetation, although some species of Mydinae are found in tropical rain forests and wet habitats (Wilcox &
Papavero 1975).
The adults are essentially flower feeders (Drury 1773; Zikán 1942, 1944; Rogers & Mattoni 1993; Williams
1995), but females of some species seem not feed at all as adults (Zikán 1942).
Most of what it is known about larval biology of Mydidae is concerned to Mydinae and its association with
nests of “sauva ants” (Formicidae, Attinae) (Zikán 1942, 1944; Autuori 1952, 1971). The mydid larvae live in the
“garbage pan” [“panela de lixo”] of the ant nest, where residues of decaying plants acumulate and seem to attract
several Coleoptera, especially some Dynastinae (Melolonthidae) (Eidmann 1937). Zikán (1942, 1944) believed
that the mydid larvae prey upon those dynastine larvae.
The knowledge on the Colombian Mydidae is very poor, and only two species are registered to this country
(Papavero 2009). In the last five years, while working on Mydidae material deposited in many collections around
the world, the present authors found no specimens from Colombia. For this reason, this catalog is only based on
literature, and only two species are registered to the country (Table 1).

Abstract
This catalogue presents the Colombian fauna of stiletto flies (Diptera: Therevidae). According to available literature, only
four species, distributed in three genera, are registered to this country, Ataenogera brevicornis (Bromley, 1934),
Brachylinga punctifrons (Kröber, 1914), B. xanthoperna Irwin and Webb, 1991 and Chromolepida pruinosa (Coquillett,
1904).
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Therevidae
Introduction
Stiletto flies (Diptera: Asiloidea: Therevidae) are a moderately sized group of lower brachyceran flies that along
with Scenopinidae, Apsilocephalidae and Evocoidae, comprise the therevoid clade (Yeates et al. 2003, 2006,
Woodley et al. 2009). Therevidae is divided into four subfamilies and two tribes: Agapophytinae, Phycinae,
Therevinae (Cyclotelini and Therevini (non-cycloteline Therevinae) (Gaimari & Irwin 2000)) and Xestomyzinae,
and occurs on all continents except Antarctica (Webb et al. 2013). Worldwide, there are 1.123 described species in
119 genera (Thompson 2008), and this number represents only 56.15% of the estimated fauna of Therevidae
(Gaimari & Webb 2009). The Neotropical fauna comprises 147 species (Amorim et al. 2002).
In the New World, adult stiletto flies can be identified by the following features: cuticle and prominent
macrosetae pale yellow to black, entirely or partially covered with pubescence; males generally holoptic (except in
some genera of Phycinae), females dichoptic; wing with R4 sinuous, divergent from R5, r4 enclosing apex of wing,
bm truncate apically, d elongate from which arise veins M1, M2, and M3, m-cu present with base of m3 truncate, r-m
attached to basal half of d, cup closed near wing margin; abdomen with eight pregenital segments, often with silver
or bronze pubescence dorsally in males; tergite 8 in males usually broad and rectangular, with posterior margin
broadly emarginate; epandrium rectangular to quadrate, wider than long in most species; cerci one-segmented,
usually free basally; hypandrium often reduced, strap-like, occasionally absent; gonocoxites bulbous, separated
medially in most species (except in Cyclotelini, all of which have gonocoxites medially fused), gonostyli apically;
aedeagus usually narrow, tapered posteriorly with an internal ejaculatory apodeme; sternite 8 of the female
terminalia conspicuous; acanthophorite macrosetae strongly reduced in Phycinae and Xestomyzinae, present and
distinct posterodorsally in Therevinae and Agapophytinae; female Phycinae has three spermathecae but lack a
spermathecal sac, while all other therevids have a spermathecal sac in addition to spermathecae, with two
spermathecae in Therevinae and Xestomyzinae, and three in Agapophytinae (although the Australian genus
Bonjeania Irwin and Lyneborg has only one) (Webb et al. 2013).
Therevids are relatively rare and active during daytime, when they feed mostly on water, plant and insect
secretions or even on insect excretions (Irwin & Lyneborg 1981b). They usually occur in dry areas (Majer 1997),
but they can also be found in mountains and tropical humid regions (Gaimari & Webb 2009). Larvae feed on other
insects, mainly beetles, butterflies, moths and other flies that live in leaf litter, tree holes or sandy terrains (Irwin &
Accepted by S. Nihei: 10 Apr. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
387
Webb 1991). A few species may even be cannibals and others are phytophagous (Majer 1997). Therevids are
infrequently collected and sampled, because the predator larvae live inside dry and fragile substrates, and for this
reason adults are found in the same areas. Thevids are better collected and sampled using malaise traps for their
behavior could be easily predicted: usually they are flying in arid environments searching for water or displacing
themselves along trails (Gaimari & Webb 2009). Males of some species tend to set on beams of light in trails,
usually waiting for females to mate (Irwin & Lyneborg, 1981b). Some species may even possess a very specific
substrate for repose, from sand spots, rocks, herbs, leaves to trunks (Gaimari & Webb 2009).
The therivid fauna of the Neotropical region is poorly studied and undercollected, although many new taxa are
recognized. This catalogue of Colombian Therevidae and the classification adopted is based on the catalogue by
Webb et al. (2013), the first catalogue of New World Therevidae. According to available literature, only four
species, distributed in three genera, are registered to Colombia (Table 1).

Abstract
Empididae is one of the biggest families of Diptera with around 3,000 known species. The family is poorly known in
Colombia, with only six species reported and this work provides information on their distribution. No endemic genera or
species have been recorded to date from Colombia.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, dance-flies, distribution
Introduction
The Empididae are small flies, from 1–12 mm in length, usually dark in color, sometimes yellow and rarely with
metallic green or blue reflections.
Adults are mostly predators, but some species feed on pollen and nectar (Steyskal & Knutson 1981). They are
found resting in vegetation or flying in search of possible prey. Males of some species of Empidinae offer a gift to
the female before copulation.
Flower-feeding of some species of Empis is indicative of their importance as pollinators for some species of
plants. Adults are usually predators of smaller insects, including Diptera (also other empidids), Hemiptera,
Thysanoptera, Lepidoptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Coleoptera,
Collembola and Acari (Tuomikoski 1952, Smith 1969, Cumming & Cooper 1993).
Adults can be captured using flight interception traps like Malaise trap, emergence trap, yellow pan traps and
by sweeping with entomological nets on the vegetation. Adults should not be placed in alcohol or other liquids that
remove bristles and coloration patterns necessary for their identification, except when you want to perform
molecular analyses. Large adults should be mounted on pin numbers 1 or 2 as soon as they die, or placed in cotton
layers in case they cannot be mounted immediately.
Larvae generally live in moist soil, decaying roots or water bodies and are predators of others small organisms
(Cumming & Cooper 1993). Some species with aquatic larvae are predators of larvae of blackflies (Hamada 1993).
Empidids are cosmopolitan and are represented by 3,000 species in the World, however, it is possible that there are
approximately 10,000 undescribed species. About 700 species are known in the Neotropical Realm in about 70
genera (Yang et al. 2007).
Large gaps in the taxonomic knowledge of the Empididae remain for most regions of the World (Sinclair &
Cumming 2006). The knowledge of the Neotropical fauna is restricted to few countries and virtually all genera
need to be reviewed in a broader context for this region; the most well-known fauna belonging to Argentina, Brazil
and Chile. The Colombian fauna is especially poorly known. Considering it is a highly diverse country any survey
will result certainly in many new species and many new records increasing significantly the number of previously
recorded species. Nothing is known of phenology, biology or behavior for Colombian empidids.
Empididae belong to the superfamily Empidoidea considered a monophyletic lineage and a sister-group of

Cyclorrapha (Sinclair & Cumming 2006). Recently Sinclair & Cumming (2006), based on cladistic morphological
characters, justified its division into several families: Empididae, Hybotidae, Atelestidae, Brachystomatidae and
Dolichopodidae. This chapter deals only with Empididae sensu Sinclair & Cumming (2006) comprising the
following subfamilies/tribes: Empidinae (Empidini and Hilarini), Heremodromiinae (Chelopodini and
Hemerodromiini) and Clinocerinae, whose position in the family is uncertain.
Bearing in mind the great variety of environments that the Colombian territory offers, we believe that the
actual number of species in the country is a lot larger than that recorded to date. Hence it is to be expected that
collection in different regions of the country as well as the development of taxonomic expertise to identify the
material will result in notable advances in knowledge of taxonomy, biology and distribution of the family in
Colombia.

Abstract
Hybotidae is a diverse family of the order Diptera, suborder Brachycera, superfamily Empidoidea. Hybotid flies are generally yellow to black, are morphologically diverse, and are distributed worldwide. The monophyly of the family is based
on: palpifer and fore tibial gland present, laterotergite bare and R4+5 unbranched. Hybotids are mainly predators and are
usually found on the vegetation, logs and other surfaces, or in flight during displacement and forage. This catalogue, based
on the study of specimens and available literature records, summarizes and updates the information on the Colombian fauna of Hybotidae, which includes 19 species distributed in six genera.
Key words: Colombia, distribution, Hybotidae, Neotropical Region
Introduction
Hybotidae are cosmopolitan, with approximately 1,700 species described in 66 genera. Of these, 187 species in 25
genera have been documented for South America (Yang et al. 2007). Hybotid flies occur virtually in all terrestrial
biotopes and in several environmental conditions (Chvála 1975).
Adults are small to medium in size (1.0-7.5mm), black to yellow, never metallic, and are morphologically
diverse. Larvae have the terminal segment rounded with a protuberance below the posterior spiracles; locomotor
projections on the first seven abdominal segments, and cuticular spines organized in rows. The pupae are very
diverse and usually have short respiratory horns or pedicellate spiracles on thorax and abdomen, but the prothoracic
spiracles are much shorter than those found in Dolichopodidae (Dyte 1967).
Even though hybotids are primarily predators, there are some records of species that feed on pollen and nectar
(Chvála 1976, Melander 1906, Downes & Smith 1969). Hybotid flies are normally found on leaves, trunks and
other surfaces, or in flight during displacement and foraging. Ocydromiinae flies swarm as part of their mating and
courtship behavior, but in Hybotinae and Tachydromiinae flies the predatory and reproductive activities have been
displaced to solid surfaces such as leaves, the ground and tree trunks (Chvála 1976). The biology of the immatures
is virtually unknown, but there is a suspicion that they are predators (Cumming & Cooper 1993) and develop on the
ground, on moss, in tree holes (Chvála 1975), litter or rotting wood (Steyskal & Knutson 1981).
The most common methods of collecting hybotids are traps that intercept them during flight, for instance
Malaise and Suspended traps, colored pan traps (primarily the yellow ones), and swapping with entomological
nets.
The first phylogenetic proposal for the classification of Hybotidae was advanced by Chvála (1983), who
included in it three subfamilies traditionally placed in Empididae s. lat. (namely Hybotinae, Ocydromiinae and
Tachydromiinae). Presently, the family includes the subfamilies Hybotinae, Ocydromiinae, Oedaleinae,
Tachydromiinae and Trichininae, which are clustered based on the following synapomorphies: presence of palpifer
(special sclerite of the mouthparts joining the stipes with the palpi), fore tibial gland present, gonocoxal apodeme
restricted to anterolateral margin of hypandrium, laterotergite bare and vein R4+5 unbranched (Sinclair & Cumming
2006).

Species from three hybotid subfamilies occur in the neotropics: Hybotinae, Ocydromiinae and
Tachydromiinae. The first one, Hybotinae, include 543 species in 17 genera, being that 83 species in eight genera
occur in South America, with 17 species in Colombia (Ale-Rocha 2007, 2008; Ale-Rocha & Vieira 2008; Yang et
al. 2007). The second, Ocydromiinae, include 84 species in 15 genera worldwide, with 31 species in eight genera
in South America, and one species registered for Colombia (Sinclair & Cumming 2007; Yang et al. 2007). Finally,
Tachydromiinae, the largest of the three, include 1,201 species in 27 genera (Shamshev & Grootaert, 2012)
occurring in all biogeographical regions (except the Antarctic); in South America, there are 73 species in nine
genera, but only one species is known to occur in Colombia (Table 1).

Remarks
Three additional species, which are probably undescribed, have been collected from Colombia. They are housed in
CEUA and belong to Hybos Meigen (previously only recorded from Central America and southern Brazil),
Hoplopeza Bezzi (from Chile) and Syneches Walker (see table). This is the first record of Hybos and Hoplopeza for
Colombia.

Abstract
The Dolichopodidae recorded from Colombia are listed based on literature data only and currently comprise 30 species in
14 genera (six subfamilies). Information on type material and depository institutions is given.
Key words: Catalogue, Colombia, Diptera, Dolichopodidae
Introduction
Dolichopodidae are a large and diverse lineage of Empidoidea (along with Atelestidae, Brachystomatidae,
Hybotidae and Empididae), with over 7,600 described species in some 250 genera from all zoogeographical
regions (Grichanov 2014, Yang et al. 2006). Around 1,200 dolichopodid species and 75 genera are known from
Neotropics, a small fraction of the world fauna which is obviously a subestimative of the real number for that
Region.
Adults of the family are predators, usually feeding on small soft-bodied arthropods and annelids (see Ulrich
2004 for a review) and found virtually everywhere, but tending to be more numerous in moist habitats, like riparian
vegetation and humid forests. Adult dolichopodids can be usually recognized by their slender and elongate legs,
metallic body color and reduced wing venation. Males often display distinctive modifications involving
chaetotaxy, sculptures and enlargement of body parts (e.g., palpus, antenna, legs and wings) which are assumed to
play a role during male-female recognition during courtship.
The Colombian dolichopodid fauna is very poorly studied, and most of the 30 recorded species (14 genera;
summarized in Table 1) are reported only by their original description and known just from the type locality. The
species list provided below is based on literature data only, and the species whose distributional ranges overlap
Colombia, like Plagioneurus univittatus Loew, Chrysotus spectabilis (Loew), and Chrysotus mundus (Loew), are
omitted if not formally recorded from there. The classification adopted here follows that of Ulrich (1981), with few
additions and modifications.

Abstract
The Phoridae recorded from Colombia are catalogued, totaling 226 species distributed in 19 genera and three subfamilies.
For each species, distribution, hierarchic position and cited references are presented.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, diversity, distribution, Phoridae
Introduction
Phoridae are probably one of the largest families of Diptera, numbering now only 4,000 described species, but
estimated to probably include closer to 40–50,000 species. Because of their small size and astounding diversity,
phorids are much less studied than almost any other group of flies. It is unknown how many species inhabit
Colombia, but Brown (1998) estimated over 2,500 species from the much smaller landmass of Costa Rica. Many
genera of Neotropical Region phorids have not yet been recorded from Colombia, but are known to occur there.
A diagnosis of phorids is small (0.5–4 mm) cyclorrhaphan flies, ptilinal suture absent. Frons usually with
distinctive setation, with one ventral and one dorsal pair of interfrontal setae, one ventral and one dorsal pair of
fronto-orbital setae, one pair of inner and one pair of outer vertical setae, and one pair of postocellar setae; often
one or more pairs of supra-antennal setae also present. Some or all frontal setae absent in some species. Mouthparts
and palpus varied. Antenna has pedicel deeply inserted into first flagellomere; shape of first flagellomere varied,
from small and rounded to greatly enlarged and flattened; Arista usually present and apical to dorsal. Thorax
shortened, scutum arched ("humpbacked"), scutellum usually with one small anterior pair and one larger posterior
pair of setae, but sometimes with many pairs of setae. Katepisternum produced into mesepimeron. Wing present,
reduced, or absent. Wing venation highly characteristic, with thickened costal and radial veins, and thin, linear
posterior veins without any crossveins linking them. Halter present, rarely absent. Hind femur of most phorids
flattened, broad. At least hind tarsomere with one longitudinal setal palisade.
Most phorid flies are parasitoids, many of which attack ants, bees, and other social insects; others are
mycophagous, herbivorous, or predaceous. Some are scavengers, including the best-known species of the family.
Larval life history was reviewed by Disney (1994) and Brown (2010). The life history of over 90% of the species is
unknown.
Phorids are greatly undersampled in Colombia, as in other parts of the Neotropical Region. The largest
collections were amassed by the Colombia Arthropod Project, led by Michael Sharkey and Brian Brown in the
1990s. Malaise trap samples collected during this project are housed at the Instituto Alexander von Humboldt in
Villa de Leyva. Other significant collections are those of Lee and Barreto (1969) at Rio Raposo (housed in the
Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC), and Malaise trap samples taken at Amacayacu National Park by Bert
Klein, which are housed in the University of Colombia, Bogotá entomology collection.
This catalogue deals with the names of species of Phoridae recorded from Colombia and their synonyms. The
records were obtained mostly with the help of the catalogue of the Phoridae of the world and its supplement
414 Accepted by S. Nihei: 17 Apr. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
(Borgmeier 1968, 1971), searches on literature and the online version of the Zoological Records (http://
apps.webofknowledge.com). The 226 species recognized for Colombia are organized by alphabetical order within
their higher categories: subgenus (when one exists), genus and subfamily. The subfamily classification follows
Brown et al. (2015). At the end, a table is presented with a summary of the species, its higher categories, author and
year of publication (Table 1).

Abstract
Pipunculidae presently have around 1,400 known species, but it is poorly known in Colombia, with only ten reported species in all territory. The genera Eudorylas Aczél and Tomosvaryella Aczél are the most abundant. This work provides information on the species distribution. No endemic genera have been recorded to date from Colombia.
Key words: big-headed fly, catalogue, Colombia, distribution
Introduction
Pipunculids, also known as big-headed flies, are small flies measuring 2.0–11.5 mm long. They are closely related
to Syrphidae but can be differentiated by the large compound eyes that occupy most of the globose or semiglobose
head; by the lack of spurious vein; and by the open R4+5 cell (Rafael & Skevignton 2010). The pterostigma is a
character present in most genera. Globally 1,401 species have been described to date in 28 genera or subgenera,
and it is likely that more than 2,700 species exist (De Meyer 1996, De Meyer & Skevington 2000). In South
America it is known so far 203 species (Rodríguez & Rafael 2012). They are classified in 18 genera divided into
three subfamilies: Chalarinae, Nephrocerinae y Pipunculinae (Rafael & De Meyer 1992, Skevington & Yeates
2000, Rafael & Skevington 2010).
The taxonomy of this family is well known. The species identification typically relies on characters of the
terminalia and in most cases only males can be identified. The biology of the group remains poorly know because
few studies have examined life cycles and host relationships. Most studies in Latin America have their foundation
in Hardy (1948), who studied specimens that were collected in various Latin America countries and mostly
deposited in Unites States museums (Rodríguez & Rafael 2012). The only study on the fauna of Pipunculidae in
Colombia is the work of Hardy (1963), describing four new species and recording in that occasion the first known
host family in the Neotropical Region.
Most species that have been studied are exclusively endoparasitoids of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera), records
include Cercopidae, Cixiidae, Flatidae, Fulgoridae and Membracidae, but in the Neotropical region there are only
records of parasitism for Cicadellidae and Delphacidae (Virla & Rafael 1996). The most effective method for
studying pipunculid biology involves capturing potential hosts by sweep-collecting in croplands and forest areas;
this allows not only knowing but offer information about the place where each species lives.
Pipunculidae are widely distributed in Latin America, occurring from northern Mexico to the Tierra del Fuego
Island of Chile and are found in a variety of environments (Rodríguez & Rafael 2012). Bearing in mind these facts
and the great variety of environments that the Colombian territory offers, we believe that the amount of actual
species in the country is a lot larger than the recorded one to date, that is why the collects in different regions as
well as the formation of specialists to identify the material will increase notably the knowledge of biology and
distribution of the family in Colombia. Nowadays there are 10 species recorded of pipunculids (Table 1), most of

them on the west region of the country, in the Pacific and Andean ecoregions. The main depositaries of the
Pipunculidae collections are the collections of the Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von
Humboldt of Bogotá which held 190 specimens, though there are few samples identified and information is not
digitalized; and the Museo Entomológico Francisco Luis Gallego of Medellín has five species of the genus
Dorylomorpha, collected in the state of Nariño.

Abstract
This paper is an updated Catalogue of Syrphidae from Colombia, including 337 species belonging to 3 subfamilies, 11
tribes, 57 genera and 16 subgenera. Each species is listed under its current accepted taxon, including the original reference,
type locality, distribution by state/province in Colombia, in addition to a complete bibliographic reference. Species in the
genera Calostigma, Claraplumula, Eristalinus, Fazia, Hermesomyia, Hybobathus, Mimocalla, Menidon, Monoceromyia,
Orphnabaccha, Pelecinobaccha, Peradon, Rhinoprosopa, Sphiximorpha and Styxia are listed for the first time from Colombia. The advance in the knowledge of the Colombian Syrphidae is briefly discussed.
Key words: Catalogue, Colombia, Syrphidae, Flower Flies, Geographical Distribution, Colombian Biodiversity, updated

Introduction
Syrphidae are one of the most specious Diptera families in the Neotropical region with many undescribed species
waiting to be discovered and described (Thompson et al. 1976; Thompson 1981, 1999a; Thompson et al. 2010).
The family is known as hover flies because exhibit high maneuverability in flight, remaining hovering in a
static position. The flower flies are pollinators, feeding on pollen and nectar, an energetic resource for flight and
mating events (Rotheray & Gilbert 2011). Immature states display a wide range of lifestyles and adaptations.
Syrphinae are predators of colonial insects such as Hemiptera with beneficial effects as biocontrol agents (Rojo et
al. 2003). In Syrphinae, some species are predators of aquatic insect in bromeliads (Rotheray et al. 2000), while
others are secondarily leaf–miners (Nishida et al. 2003), stem–borers (Zuijen & Nishida 2010) or pollen–feeders
(Reemer & Rotheray 2009). Eristalinae feed on decaying organic matter, with some species feeding on animal
dung, water reservoirs in Phytotelmata, while others species are saprophagous feeding on exuding plant sap
(Gilbert et al. 1994). Microdontinae are predators of immature states of ants (Reemer & Ståhls 2013).
The study of flower flies in Colombia started with Macquart (1842–1850), who described four new species.
Until 1892, the number of species was low, with only 25 species described by six authors. Between 1925 and 1951,
many species were described (50 species), mainly supported by the works of Hull (1925–1951) and Curran
(1925–1941). In 1976, Thompson listed 96 species from Colombia. In posterior studies, new species were
described, and numerous new synonymies, new combinations, new records and various nomenclatural changes
were proposed, increasing the number of Colombian species to 200 (Hippa & Thompson 1983; Thompson 1994;
1999a, 2006; Gutiérrez et al. 2005; Restrepo-Ortiz & Carrejo 2009). The present work provides an updated
catalogue of the Colombian Syrphidae including the examination of material in collections in addition to a
literature review (Montoya et al. 2012; Ricarte et al. 2012; Mengual, 2014; Miranda et al. 2014). The catalogue
contains 337 species and 57 genera. Species in the genera Calostigma, Claraplumula, Eristalinus, Fazia,
Hermesomyia, Hybobathus, Mimocalla, Menidon, Monoceromyia, Orphnabaccha, Pelecinobaccha, Peradon,
Rhinoprosopa, Sphiximorpha and Styxia are listed for the first time from Colombia (Table 1). Valid names were
taken from the Nomenclator of the BioSystematic Database of World Diptera (Thompson 2013). Abbreviations
follow the proposed standard of Thompson (1999b).

Acknowledgments
I am grateful to Marta Wolff for inviting me to participate in the realization of the Catalogue of Syrphidae from
Colombia. I would like to acknowledge the curators and directors of the visited collections for permission to study
material in their care: CEUA, M. Wolff; ICN, C. E. Sarmiento; MEPB, A. Vélez; MEFLG, S. Orduz, J. Quiroz and
UNAB, F. Serna, E. Vergara. I am grateful to F. Christian Thompson (Entomology Dept, Smithsonian Institution)
for verification and identification of some syrphid specimens and for his support during the development of this
project. I also thank N. Carrejo, C. Ruiz, and C. Restrepo of the MEUV for their help in the confirmation and
identification of part of the material. I am also grateful to the Samuel Wendell Williston Diptera Research
Foundation and the organizing Committee for financial assistance to attend the 6th International Symposium on the
Syrphidae in Glasgow, (UK) and the 8th International Congress of Dipterology in Potsdam, Germany. Thanks to
the Project “Diversidad de insectos de Colombia”, led by the Instituto de Investigación en Recursos Biológicos
Alexander von Humboldt (IAvH). I thank the CODI (Comite para el Desarrollo de Investigaciones Universidad de
Antioquia) Act number 20067, and to SOCOLEN for the “Beca de incentivo a la investigación Entomología en la

Abstract
Sixty species and 14 genera of Micropezidae are recorded from Colombia, including four species of Micropezinae and 56
species of Taeniapterinae. The following species are newly recorded from the country: Grallipeza affinis, G. ecuadoriensis, G. obscura, G. nigrinotata, G. pseudosimplex, Ptilosphen comis, P. conveniens, P. enderleni, P. facetus and P. mimicus.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Micropezidae, distribution
Introduction
The family Micropezidae Loew occurs in all zoogeographic regions, but is particularly diverse in the Neotropical
Region. The total of 51 species recorded for Colombia by Steyskal (1968) is a great underestimate because most
neotropical species of Micropezidae remain undescribed, and most described species are effectively unidentifiable
except by direct comparison with the type specimens. Fourteen genera and 60 species are listed here, but several
genera remain difficult to define, and others are clearly paraphyletic as treated by Steyskal (1968). The entire New
World fauna is currently under revision by the first author and associated graduate students, and the number of
undescribed species (manuscript names) currently greatly exceeds the number of published names. We expect that
at least 200 species of Micropezidae occur in Colombia.
At the family level, adult micropezids are recognizable as distinctively long-legged, slender flies of 4-20 mm
(usually 6-12 mm) with veins R4+5 and M strongly convergent at the wing tip, katepisternal bristles present (usually
in a vertical row), arista dorsobasal, ocellar bristle absent, and vibrissa absent. Adults of some genera are attracted
to decomposing matter and feces, but most species for which biological data are available develop in dead wood,
roots or stems. Colombian species are recorded from sea level to 3000m.
Most species for which the type locality is Colombia were described by Enderlein (1922), on the basis of
specimens added to the collection in Berlin by Otto Thieme. Thieme, a professor at the Sophien Real Gymnasium
in Berlin until 1907, made significant collections in South America but little is known of the details of his trips, and
his micropezid specimens are simply labeled "cordillera tierra caliente" or “cordillera tierra templada”. Type
depositories are here given only if we have examined type material, which is the case for the majority of species. A
single sex is listed for syntype series if a specimen has been selected as lectotype but not yet designated.
The classification adopted here is based on the catalogue by Skeyskal (1968) and the micropezid chapter in the
Manual of Central American Diptera chapter by Marshall (2010). It also incorporates unpublished information
from the first author's unpublished research on the New World Taeniapterinae, which includes revisions of
Grallipeza, Ptilosphen, and Mesoconius (now including Zelatractodes). New country records and corrected
distributions are given for those genera only. New synonymies explained and justified in unpublished papers are
indicated here with the noncommittal "probably a synonym of". The division of Taeniaptera sensu Steyskal into
Paragrallomyia, Grallomyia, and Taeniaptera is based on Marshall (2010) and molecular phylogenetic data in
Jackson et al. (2015). The inclusion of Zelatractodes in Mesoconius is based on Marshall (2015).

Abstract
Here we provide a catalog of the Neriidae from Colombia, with all six genera and 17 species in alphabetical order. With
each genus we provide references and with each species we include the original name, type-locality, acronym of the institution where the type is deposited and the known geographical distribution. In the case of samples only from Colombia,
we provide additional details for locality, relevant synonymy and additional references.
Key words: Catalog, Colombia, Diptera, distribution, Nerioidea
Introduction
The Neriidae comprise a small group of acalyptrate flies (116 species in 17 genera, Pape et al. 2011) with rather
long legs, porrect antennae with dorso-apical or apical arista and pedicel with a triangular inner process. Neriidae
feed on sap, rotten fruit and other decaying matter (Aczél 1961; Mangan & Baldwin 1986; Buck 2010) and are
found in all biogeographic regions, tending to predominate in the tropics (Hennig 1937; Steyskal 1968).
The Neriidae were first considered a subfamily of Micropezidae in its first revision by Enderlein (1922). In the
second general revision, Hennig (1937) listed 34 species in nine genera for the Neotropical region. Neriidae were
considered to be within the Tylidae (today, Micropezidae) in the first Neotropical catalog by Aczél (1949). Later,
Neriidae was restored as a family in the first complete revision of the American representatives, in which 39
species in 11 genera were recognized (Aczél 1951). The family is split into the subfamilies Telostylinae and
Neriinae. Only the Neriinae occur in the Americas and are identified by the expanded and medially divided upper
face and lunule, which forms a prominently exposed antennal base (Steyskal 1987; Buck 2010).
Steyskal (1968) listed eight species in three genera in Colombia in his catalog of the species reviewed by Aczél
(1961). Recently, another four new species have been described from South America (Sepúlveda et al. 2013a,
2014). Today, nine genera are known in the New World (Buck 2010), of which six (and a total of 17 species) have
been recorded in Colombia and are included in this catalog, in which we follow the classification proposed by
Aczél (1961) and Buck (2010).
We list the genera and species in alphabetical order and each species is followed by information including
authorship, original publication, original genus name parenthetically, type locality, type-material information
(including the acronym of the institution housing the material in square brackets), general distribution (countries)
except for the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, when we also provide state or provincial citations
parenthetically. For each Colombian species, we also include the specific locality and department parenthetically,
followed by detailed references and the relevant synonymy. At the end of the list of species, a table includes all
species known from Colombia, including rank, author(s) and year of publication.

Abstract
The Tanypezidae of Colombia are catalogued. Nine species in one genus are presented and geographical information are
provided for all species, when available.
Key words: catalogue, Diptera, distribution, Colombia
Introduction
Tanypezidae is a small family of Acalyptratae Diptera. These flies are medium sized with body slender, long legs
and veins R4+5 and M converging apically. The biology and larval stages are practically unknown (Lonsdale 2014).
Only 28 species are known in two genera, Tanypeza Fallén (2 species, restricted to the Holarctic region) and
Neotanypeza Hendel (26 species, restricted to the New World) (Lonsdale 2014). In Colombia only nine species are
reported in this genus but it is expected to discover many new species and new occurrences.
This catalogue is based on the Neotropical Catalogue of Tanypezidae (Steyskal 1967) and on the World
Catalogue of the family (Lonsdale 2014). We underline Colombian department names and parenthetically note
specific localities. At the end, we provide a table that includes all species found in Colombia (Table 1).

Abstract
This catalog features the three species of Syringogastridae that have been reported for Colombia. It is entirely based on
literature data and contains no new records.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Distribution, Syringogaster , Syringogastridae
Introduction
The Syringogastridae occur in the Neotropical region with exception of the Antilles, from which they are known
only through the fossil record (Dominican amber) (Marshall et al. 2009). They are distributed from Tamazunchale,
San Luis Potosí, Mexico to Eldorado, Misiones, Argentina (Marshall et al. 2009). The family is monotypic, with a
total of 21 extant species, three of which occur in Colombia (Table 1).
Almost nothing is known about the biology of Syringogaster. Syringogastrids walking on leaves resemble ants
(especially Pseudomyrmex Lund) that often occur on the same leaf surfaces (Papavero 1964). This resemblance
includes movement, size and shape, making syringogastrids difficult to distinguish from ants until they take flight.
Marshall et al. (2009) and Marshall & Buck (2010) summarized what is known about the biology of
syringogastrids.
Syringogaster adults are characterized by the following combination of characters (Marshall & Buck 2009):
Small (body length 4–6 mm), ant-looking flies; head spherical, separated from mesothorax by long, collar-like
prothorax; setae reduced; head setae limited to outer verticals and (usually) ocellar bristles; thorax only with
postalar and one pair of scutellar bristles; pedicel with dorsal seam, arista bipectinate. Wing partially infuscated or
banded, constricted basally, anal portion of wing reduced, alula apparently absent; Costal vein without breaks;
subcostal vein incomplete, more or less coalescing with vein R1 Costal vein; cell cup complete. Forelegs short and
separated from midlegs by wide distance; hind femur swollen and with anteroventral and posteroventral row of
stout, short, spine-like setulae. Scutum with distinct supra-alar carina, metathorax with large, cylindrical posterior
extension, postmetacoxal bridge high. Abdomen petiolate, with first three or four segments fused. Male with fully
developed and symmetrical tergite 6. Synsternite 7+8 forming complete ring separate from epandrium; surstyli and
cerci present. Hypandrium with prominent, setose, ventrolateral lobes; hypandrial bridge usually developed;
distiphallus large and complex, usually curled up on left side of postabdomen. Female lacking oviscape; apical
segments forming short telescoping ovipositor.
The larvae are not known. Feijen (1989) and Meyer & Hilger (2000) gave information on egg morphology.
Species of Syringogaster are somewhat similar to some other ant mimics, especially small Micropezidae in the
genera Metasphen Frey and Globopeza Marshall (Marshall & Buck 2010). Syringogastrids are easily distinguished
from Psilidae (the family in which they were originally described by Cresson 1912), and most other Neotropical
flies, by the long collar-like pronotum, the hind femur swollen with ventral row of spines, the reduced head
chaetotaxy, the basally narrowed wing, and the ant-like body shape (Marshall & Buck 2009).

Abstract
A catalogue of the Conopidae known from Colombia, with 16 species distributed in four genera, is presented. The richest
group is Stylogaster Macquart. Geographic distributions are given for each species.
Key words: biodiversity, catalogue, Conopidae, distribution, Neotropical
Introduction
Conopidae Latreille, 1802, or thick-headed flies, are a family of parasitoid Diptera, found all over the world, except
in Polar Regions and Pacific islands. About 800 extant species in 56 genera are recognized (Gibson & Skevington
2013, Pape & Thompson 2013), and three fossils are known, from Baltic and Dominican amber (dating minimally
from ca. 47 mya) (Hennig 1966, Gibson & Skevington 2013, Rocha et al. 2015). Conopids can be recognized by
the head thicker than the slender body, dorsal arista or apical stylus, elongated antennae and prementum, cell r4+5
closed, vein R4+5 deflected forwards, and specialized female genitalia (elongated and tube-shaped, formed by the
segments 6, 7, 8 and 9, in stylogastrines or formed by flat plates on sternite 5 in the others).
Adults of Conopidae are nectarivorous, feeding mainly on the flowers of Apiaceae, Asteraceae and Lamiaceae
(Lopes 1937, Smith & Peterson 1987). Larvae are parasites mainly in hymenopterans, except the stylogastrines,
which develop into orthopteroids and at least oviposit on calyptrate Diptera (Couri & Pont 2006, Couri & Barros
2010).
Gibson et al. (2012) and Gibson & Skevington (2013) recognized five subfamilies in the family classification:
Conopinae, Dalmanniinae, Myopinae, Stylogastrinae and Zodioninae, but only Conopinae, Stylogastrinae and
Zodioninae are recorded for Colombia. The family is poorly known in Colombia and, to date, only 16 species in
four genera are recorded in the literature.
Data are based on the catalogue of Papavero (1971), the monograph of Camras and Parrillo (1985), and recent
literature. The sex and depository collection of the types are given, but [?] is used when this information is
unknown. Recorded departments are underlined, specific localities are in brackets, and “Colombia” is used when
specifications of departments or localities are not available.
Most of the records of Conopidae from Colombia are unspecific about the department or cities, making
difficult the identification of sampled regions. The result of this catalog reflects the few studies on Conopidae in
this country and the conopid fauna shall be actually much richer than the known records, since there are many
potentially rich habitats in all over Colombian territory.
Sixteen species of Conopidae are recorded from Colombia. Stylogaster Macquart is the richest group, with 10
species. Physoconops Szilády with 4 species, and Physocephala Schiner and Zodion Latreille, with one species
each, complete the list (Table 1).

Abstract
This family was poorly known in the Neotropical region, mainly in Colombia. However, recent studies increased its
knowledge with new distribution records. This catalogue presents 44 species distributed in three genera.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Lonchaeidae
Introduction
Lonchaeidae Rondani, 1856 species are moderately small sized Diptera (body length 3.0-6.0 mm), stout, relatively
setose, shiny black to metallic blue or green, with wings usually hyaline and abdomen broad and flat. Frons
narrower in male than in female. Ocellar, inner and outer vertical setae strong. Vibrissa absent, but one or more
subvibrissal vibrissa-like setae sometimes present. Face broad, usually without strong carina. Eye large, pilose or
bare. Thorax with one postpronotal seta, two notopleurals, one presutural and one postsutural supralar, two
postsutural dorsocentral, two prescutelar acrostichal, often one weak intra-alar, and two postalars. Legs mostly
dark, tarsi sometimes partially or entirely yellow. Wing with anal lobe and alula well developed, subcosta complete
and with costagial and humeral weakenings and subcostal break. Halter dark brown (Norrbom 2010). The larvae of
most Lonchaeidae are invaders in diseased or injured plants, a few species of Dasiops Rondani are pests of
Passiflora (Passifloraceae), and some species of Neosilba McAlpine and Lonchaea Fallén breed in damaged fruit,
vegetables or cacti. In Colombia, specimens were obtained from fruits and attacking Passiflora (Norrbom &
McAlpine 1997).
Lonchaeidae belong to the superfamily Tephritoidea and may be the most basal clade of the superfamily
(McAlpine 1989, Korneyev 1999). The family has a worldwide distribution, with 523 species in nine genera in the
world, approximately 100 species in four genera in the Neotropical region (Norrbom 2010), and 44 species in three
genera recorded from Colombia (Table 1).

Abstract
Piophilidae is a little family poorly known in Colombia, with only Piophila casei (L.) and Stearibia nigriceps Meigen reported so far. This catalogue expands the distribution of these species to other localities in the country.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Diptera, distribution
Introduction
Piophilidae are known as skipper flies. They are similar to ants in appearance, measuring 3–8 mm long and shining
black to dull brown and yellow flies with wings frequently glassy. They could be identified by the head wide as the
thorax, with ocelli present. Frons setulose, with zero to two lateroclinate orbital setae. Postocellar setae divergent,
one to two vibrissae present Arista usually short. Thorax with zero to two postpronotal. Wing rounded, longer than
abdomen, with anal and alula developed, entirely hyaline in Neotropical species. Larvae are typical muscomorph
maggots, long, slender, cylindrical with spiculose intersegmental rings (Ozerov & Norrbom 2010). The natural
history of the species of Piophilidae is poorly known for the Neotropical region, except for the introduced species
They are scavengers as larvae, growing in animal or vegetable decomposing matter; larvae of many species live in
animal carrion (Ozerov & Norrbom 2010), hidden between the joints and bones.
Piophilidae are cosmopolitan flies and several species are synanthropic and widespread (Ozerov & Norrbom
2010). In the world occur 82 species in 19 genera, and 10 species in the Neotropical region (de Carvalho et al.
2012). In Colombia only two species are reported, Piophila casei (Linnaeus) and Stearibia nigriceps Meigen, both
collected in forensic entomology studies.
In this catalogue we underline Colombian Department names and parenthetically note specific localities. At
the end, we provide a table that includes the species known in Colombia (Table 1).

Abstract
Platystomatidae (Signal Flies) are one of the largest families of Tephritoidea, with about 1200 species and four subfamilies, worldwide distributed. However, Platystomatidae are not well represented in the New World, and in the Neotropical
Region only four genera and 26 species, belonging to Platystomatinae, are recorded. The family is a group understudied
in Colombia and only one species is recorded to the country.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Neotropical Region, Platystomatinae
Introduction
Platystomatidae are recognized by small to mediam sized flies (body length 2.5–20.0mm) and body ranging from
slender to very robust, generally with metallic color. Head with setae reduced in number, one or two orbital setae
and frontal seta absent; vibrissa absent to rudimentary. Thorax with prosternum generally broad, bare or ciliated;
postmetacoxal bridge complete or incomplete; katepisternal and presutural dorsocentral setae absent; one
anepisternal seta; one or none postsutural dorsocentral setae; one to three scutellar setae. Legs moderately
developed, without conspicuous setae. Wing usually patterned with dark spots or bands; humeral break present and
subcostal break absent; vein Sc complete, curving forward to end in costal vein; vein R1 setulose; cell cup never
with a pointed extension. Abdomen with sternite 1 present and developed. Female with segment 6 reduced or
absent. Male with abdominal sternite 6 reduced or absent; lateral and medial surstily developed; one or two
prensisetae; distiphallus long with developed pre-apical glans (absent in some groups, e.g. some genera of
Trapherinae from Australia); terminal filaments absent (e.g. Naupoda Osten-Sacken; Scholastes Loew) or present
(e.g. Lamprogaster Macquart; Loxoneuroides Hendel).
Platystomatidae are one of the largest families of Tephritoidea and contains some of the most morphologically
bizarre forms in this superfamily. Over 1,200 species have been described in 119 world genera and four subfamilies
(McAlpine 2001). With worldwide distribution, Platystomatidae are not well represented in the New World and in
the Neotropical region only Platystomatinae, with four genera and 26 species, are recorded (Steyskal 1968). The
family is a group understudied in Colombia and only one species is recorded to the country (Table 1), a figure
certainly requiring revision.

Abstract
Pyrgotidae is a family of endoparasitics flies of beetles with worldwide distribution. The Neotropical fauna is composed
by 59 valid species names disposed in 13 genera. The occurrence of Pyrgota longipes Hendel is the first record of the
family in Colombia.
Key words: Catalogue, Diptera, Tephritoidea, Pyrgotidae, Colombia, Neotropical Region
Introduction
Pyrgotidae is a small family of tephritoid flies, whose immatures develop as internal parasitoids into the abdomen
of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeoidea) (Forbes 1908, Aczél 1956a, Paramonov 1958,
Steyskal 1987, Hernandez-Ortiz 2010). Recently, Mello et al. (2010) discussed the possible parasitoid association
between the pyrgotid species Carrerapyrgota bernardii Mello, Lamas & Rafael with Pelidnota sordida Germar
(Scarabaeidae, Rutelinae).
The family has a worldwide distribution with the majority of the species concentrated in the tropical areas
(Korneyev 2006). According to Mello & Lamas (in prep.), the Neotropical fauna is composed by 59 valid species
names disposed in 13 genera.
This catalogue presents for the first time the occurrence of Pyrgotidae in Colombia (Table 1). Specimens of
Pyrgota longipes Hendel from Antioquia and Cundinamarca are registered.

Abstract
Richardiidae are a family of “acalyptrate” Diptera represented by ca. 180 species distributed in the New World, mostly in
the Neotropical region. The species that occur in Colombia have received little attention from taxonomists, and the great
majority of them are known only from their type localities. Currently, 14 genera and 23 species are known to occur in the
country.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Neotropical Region, Richardiinae
Introduction
The following characteristics are peculiar to the Richardiid flies: small to medium-sized (body length 3–15mm),
body robust or slender. Head with one orbital seta and frontal seta absent. Thorax with prosternum very reduced,
bare or ciliated; katepisternum developed, higher than anepisternum; postmetacoxal bridge complete or
incomplete; presutural dorsocentral seta absent; one anepisternal seta; one or two post-sutural dorsocentral setae;
one or two scutellar setae. Wing generally with apical spot, median band and/or other marks; subcostal break
present; humeral break present in Epiplateinae and absent in Richardiinae; R1 vein swollen at apex; cup closed
apically by a short sinuous or slightly convex vein. Legs long, slender to robust, usually banded; spine-like setae
present on ventral surface of at least hind femur in Richardiinae (except Setellia Robineau-Desvoidy), absent in all
femora in Epiplateinae. Abdomen with strong preapical setae laterally on syntergite 1+2; sternite 1 very reduced or
absent. Female with two spermathecae. Male with abdominal tergites 6 and 7 very reduced or vestigial; lateral
surstylus partial or entirely free from epandrium; one (in Richardiinae) or two (in Epiplateinae) prensisetae;
distiphallus long and generally setulose.
Very little is known about the biology of immature and adult richardiids. A few records on the breeding
behavior of these flies suggest that the larval diet is composed of rotting vegetable matter, rotting fruit (Steyskal
1958, Martinez et al. 2000), decaying trunks (Steyskal 1973), and flowers (Steyskal 1973, 1987). Shannon,
Suspended and Malaise are optimal traps for collecting the adult stage. Furthermore, there are records of adult
richardiids collected in association with animal carcasses (e.g. Carvalho et al. 2000, Carvalho & Linhares 2001,
Moretti et al. 2008).
The family Richardiidae is classified in the Tephritoidea and only occurs in the New World, mostly in the
Neotropical region. The family is currently represented by about 200 species in 32 genera and is divided into two
subfamilies, Richardiinae and Epiplateinae (Hancock 2010). The Richardiinae is conspicuously more diverse,
encompassing more than 90% of the species in the family (Steyskal 1968). The species that occur in Colombia
have received little attention from taxonomists, and the great majority of them are known only from their type
localities. Currently, 14 genera and 23 species are known to occur in the country (Table 1).
The present catalogue provides a list of species from Colombia based on available literature and observed
material. For genus name the following is provided: the original reference, type species, current valid name (when

appropriate), designation, and synonyms listed chronologically. For each species name, the following information
is given: the original reference with the original generic assignment when it differs from the present assignment,
the type locality quoted in full, the nature and location of the type series, the geographical distribution in a
sequence that runs from north to south and west to east, chronologically listed synonyms, all known available and
unavailable published names, and bibliography of all literature cited.

Remarks
Some additional species from Colombia were found in a material recently examined, nevertheless it was not
possible to identify them until a specific level (see Table 1) and probably these species are new. These species,
included in the Table 1 below, belong to four genera for the first time recorded to the country, and they are the
follows: Beebeomyia Curran (with three unidentified species); Megalothoraca Hendel (with one species); Setellia
Robineau-Desvoidy (with at least three species) and Epiplatea Loew (with at least one species).

Abstract
The present Catalogue includes 90 species and 23 genera of Tephritidae that have been recorded in Colombia. Four subfamilies (Blepharoneurinae, Dacinae, Trypetinae and Tephritinae), and eight tribes (Acrotaeniini, Carpomyini, Dacini, Eutretini, Myopitini, Noeetini, Tephritini, and Toxotrypanini) are represented in the Colombian territory. The species
Toxotrypana littoralis and Tomoplagia pleuralis are new records for the country. Trypeta conferta Walker, 1853 is here
formally transferred to the genus Neomyopites.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, taxonomy, Tephritidae
Introduction
The Tephritidae are a family of acalyptrate flies, commonly known as fruit flies. They comprise more than 4,800
species in approximately 500 genera of worldwide distribution (Norrbom et al. 1999a, Norrbom 2010, and unpubl.
data).
Species of this family have brightly colored and/or patterned bodies and wings but are not metalic (except
Tachinisca cyaneiventris which has a purplish abdomen, and several species from Madagascar). The size of the
adults varies from 2 to 35 mm in length and they can be recognized mainly by the shape of the subcosta (bent
sharply forward subapically and usually weaker or foldlike beyond the bend) and by the presence of inclinate
frontal setae. In most species the basal cubital cell has a distal acute projection (Foote et al. 1993, Norrbom 2010).
Fruit flies are distributed in all biogeographic regions except in extreme desert and polar areas, where their hosts
are scarce or absent (Foote et al. 1993; Thompson 1999).
Within the Diptera, Tephritidae is the family of greatest agricultural relevance. Most species are phytophagous
and many pest species have been studied extensively, due to damage they cause in plants of economic interest
(Foote 1967, Aluja 1994, Aluja & Norrbom 1999, Norrbom et al. 1999a, Aluja & Mangan 2008).
Many species use fruits as a substrate for their larval development causing severe economic impact and
quarantine restrictions imposed by many countries (Foote 1967, Aluja & Mangan 2008). The immatures of more
than half of the species in the New World, however, develop in flowers, seeds, stems or roots of plant species of the
family Asteraceae (Foote 1967, Foote et al. 1993, Prado et al. 2002, Norrbom & Prado 2006, Norrbom 2010).
Although many species are considered pests, some species of Tephritinae are used in weed biological control
(Thompson 1999, Rieder et al. 2001, Norrbom 2010). There are also some representatives of the subfamily
Tachiniscinae that parasitize larvae of Lepidoptera, family Saturniidae (Norrbom 2010).
In the Neotropical Region the number of taxa described is about 916 species in 71 genera (Norrbom 2010, and
unpubl. data). Norrbom et al. (1999b) listed 52 species in 20 genera specifically from Colombia, although others
were implied to occur there (e.g., as occurring from “Costa Rica to Peru”). Since then, additional species were
described or recorded for that country (Hernández-Ortiz 2002, Norrbom & Caraballo 2003, Norrbom et al. 2005,
Norrbom 2006, Martínez-Alava 2007, Norrbom & Condon 2010, Canal 2010, Norrbom & Korytkowski 2012).
596 Accepted by S. Nihei: 20 Apr. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
Herein we list 90 species in 23 genera known from Colombia, the higher taxa listed phylogenetically, the
species in alphabetical order (Table 1). We believe that as a result of new studies and surveys the number of species
of fruit flies in the country will undoubtedly be much higher.

An updated Catalogue of the Lauxaniidae of Colombia is presented. This acalyptratae family is poorly known in Colombia, with only 36 described species in 33 genera. This paper expands the distribution of 24 species to Colombia. At total,
63 species are reported here for Colombia.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Diptera, distribution, Neotropical region
Introduction
Lauxaniidae is one of the largest Diptera Schizophora families, very common in tropical areas. Adults may be
small to moderately large (2-11 mm), varied in color patterns, often with marks, spots, bands, or reticulating
patterns (Shewell 1987, Gaimari & Silva 2010b). Lauxaniidae larvae frequently are recorded as saprophages, found
in a diverse array of decaying plant matter (Miller 1977). A few species have been reported to be phytophagous,
living in root collars, stems and leaves of clover (Tripholium; Oxalidaceae), in the ovaries of violets (Viola;
Violaceae), and in the leaf–like phylloclades of prickly pear (Opuntia; Cactaceae) (Miller 1977) and in the
flowerheads of Asteraceae (Silva & Mello 2008). Some adults graze fungal hyphae and spores on leaves, using
special labial structures, like prongs and scoops, making them one of the few higher flies able to feed on solid
particles (Mello & Silva 2007; Marshall 2012).
The family comprises about 1,550 valid species (Kim 1994). In the Neotropical region there are nearly 400
described species in 53 genera (Gaimari & Silva 2010b).
The monophyly of the family is well supported by several autapomorphies (McAlpine, 1989). It is included in
the Lauxanioidea, together with Chamaemyiidae and Celyphidae; recently the enigmatic family Eurychoromyiidae
was revised to subfamily status (Gaimari & Silva, 2010a; Gaimari, 2011). Stuckenberg (1971) proposed the
subfamily Homoneurinae for a group of genera based on the presence of costal setulae extending to the apex of
wing vein R4+5. Shewell (1977) proposed the subfamily Lauxaniinae for the remainder of the family, with costal
setulae ending just beyond the apex of vein R2+3 and a single midtibial spur. The conditions found in Lauxaniinae
are clearly plesiomorphic, and are likely part of the groundplan for the entire Muscomorpha (McAlpine, 1989), and
both Stuckenberg (1971) and Shewell (1977) acknowledged the likely paraphyly for the group.
Lauxaniids are uncommon in the described fossil record. Six species are known primarily from the Eocene/
Oligocene Baltic amber, but undescribed species are also known from Oligocene Dominican amber (Evenhuis,
1997).
Considering that a conspectus of the Neotropical Laxaniidae is in progress by this author and S. D. Gaimari,
including a catalogue to all species in the region, the data presented here represents the actual taxonomic
knowledge for the family at the Neotropical Region and should be noted that some of the taxa here will have their
taxonomic status changed after the publication of the conspectus. Notwithstanding this, we provided a list that is
intended to help all people interested in the Colombian Diptera.
The Colombian fauna of lauxaniids comprises at the moment 36 described species representing only a small
fraction of the known fauna, with at least 63 species recognized (Table 1). The data provided in this catalogue,
622 Accepted by S. Nihei: 10 Apr. 2015; published: 14 Jun. 2016
along with data gathered from literature, represent the main result of the study of specimens provided by collection
efforts sponsored by the Humboldt Institute and NSF to M. Sharkey (grant number DEB-0205982). Many
undescribed species are discovered and they are indicated here, also in few genera an undetermined species is
reported because we believe it is important to know that some genus is represented in the country, although by an
unnamed species.
All genus- and species-group names are listed alphabetically. Valid names are in bold type at the first mention.
Synonyms when mentioned subsequently are italicized. Each published name including synonyms is given in a
chronological sequence according to the scheme: the name of the species, author(s), year of description, page,
genus in the original description (if different from the valid one), type locality (or localities in the case of syntypes;
updated name into brackets), information about the primary types and their deposition (and, if a lectotype, a
reference to the author and date of the designation), known geographic distribution. At the end we present a table
with all species found in Colombia, including rank and author (Table 1).

Abstract
Ropalomeridae is a small family with most species distributed in the Neotropical Region, from Mexico to Argentina, and
only one Nearctic species. In Colombia, eight species distributed in four genera have been found. This catalogue, based
on the study of specimens and available literature records, summarizes and updates the information on the Colombian fauna.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, distribution, Neotropical Region, Ropalomeridae
Introduction
Flies in the family Ropalomeridae are distributed mainly in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas.
The family is characterized by the following combination of characters: adults robust, medium to large (6-12 mm),
brown to dark brown; vertex deep, concave, eyes protruding and face with median carina or central tubercle; palpi
flattened and widened; posterior thoracic spiracle with one or more setae; legs robust, especially hind femur,
significantly widened, with strong ventral setae, hind tibia usually laterally compressed, curved, ornamented with
long bristles or hairs dorsally; wings hyaline, lightly infuscate or strongly spotted.
The morphology of the immatures is poorly understood. Lopes (1932) provided descriptions of the egg and
larva of Ropalomera stictica Wiedemann. The biology of Ropalomeridae is poorly known. Adults feed on liquids
that exude from plants and are collected using traps baited with rotting fruit, hydrolyzed protein, and 10% cane
molasses.
Ropalomeridae are included in the suborder Brachycera, infraorder Muscomorpha, superfamily Sciomyzoidea.
Sepsidae are considered the sister-group of this family, and both share the middle portion of face strongly
sclerotized and prominent, one or more strong subvibrissal setae, posterior thoracic spiracle with one or more
developed bristles, vein R1 bare, vein A2 absent and two spermathecae (McAlpine 1989). On the other hand,
nothing is known about the relationships within Ropalomeridae.
The family was reviewed by Lindner (1930a), Prado (1963, 1966) and cataloged by Steyskal (1967), who also
published a chapter on the fauna of the Nearctic region (Steyskal 1987). Mexican species were revised by RamírezGarcía & Hernández-Ortiz (1994), Willistoniella Mik, 1895 and Apophorynchus Williston, 1895 by Marques &
Ale-Rocha (2004 and 2005, respectively), and Kroeberia Lindner, 1930 by Marques-Costa & Ale-Rocha (2005).
Currently, there are 31 known species in 9 genera in the Neotropics (Ibáñez-Bernal & Hernández-Ortiz 2012:
Kirst & Ale-Rocha 2012). They are distributed from the southern United States to northern Argentina, with a single
species recorded from the Nearctic region, Rhytidops floridensis (Aldrich 1932). Fossils have not been found.
Eight species of Ropalomeridae have been recorded from Colombia, in addition to two unrecognized species.
The present catalogue provides a list of species from Colombia based on available literature and observed material.
A table with all species, rank and author is presented at the end of this paper. The information included in the
Catalogue comprises only the species that occur in Colombia, including synonymies.

Abstract
The Sciomyzidae are a family of acalyptrate flies of worldwide distribution, with 543 extant species and 14 described subspecies in 63 genera. Although 274 species in 37 genera are found in the Western Hemisphere, the sciomyzid fauna of
Central and South America remains relatively unknown, comprising 103 species in 25 genera, with only seven species in
five genera having been recorded from Colombia: Dictya bergi Valley, Perilimnia albifacies Becker, Pherbellia guttata
(Coquillett), Sepedomerus bipuncticeps (Malloch), S. macropus (Walker), Sepedonea guianica (Steyskal), and S. isthmi
(Steyskal).

Introduction
The Sciomyzidae are a family of acalyptrate flies of worldwide distribution, with 543 extant species (Murphy
2014) and 14 described subspecies in 63 genera and 13 fossil species in five genera (Vala et al. 2012, 2013).
Traditionally the family has been considered to comprise two subfamilies, Salticellinae and Sciomyzinae
(Marinoni & Mathis 2000, Barker et al. 2004). More recently, DNA analyses by Tóthová et al. (2012) showed it to
comprise three subfamilies: Phaeomyiinae, Salticellinae, and Sciomyzinae.
Sciomyzidae is one of the best known families of Diptera. The species are considered to be “true
malacophages” and are classified into 15 different behavioral groups (Knutson & Vala 2011). The biology of 241
species in 41 genera is known, with only three species not being associated with molluscs (Vala et al. 2013).
Sciomyzids that prey on non-operculate aquatic snails hold promise to control species of gastropods that act as
intermediate hosts of diseases such as fascioliasis and schistosomiasis (Berg & Knutson 1978, Barker et al. 2004).
Although 274 species in 37 genera are found in the Western Hemisphere (Murphy 2014), the sciomyzid fauna
of Central and South America remains relatively unknown, comprising 103 species in 25 genera, with only seven
species in five genera having been recorded from Colombia (Table 1). This low number results from lack of
information about specimens in collections and lack of collecting in Colombia. Many species known from adjacent
countries (Panama, Venezuela, and Ecuador) likely occur in Colombia but have yet to be collected.

Abstract
An updated Catalogue of the Sepsidae of Colombia is presented. This small acalyptratae family is poorly known in Colombia, with only ten reported species in four genera.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Diptera, distribution, Neotropical region
Introduction
The Sepsidae are a small family of the acalyptrate Diptera. Most members have an antlike appearance, caused by a
basal constriction on the abdomen; they are small or medium in size (body length 2–7 mm), with wing hyaline, but
sometimes with a dark spot near tip. The larvae are closely associated with various decaying organic materials, but
most frequently on mammalian feces.
The family is well represented in all biogeographic regions, with 318 valid species included in 37 valid genera
(Ozerov 2005). Steyskal (1968) published the first catalogue of the Neotropical Sepsidae, surpassed by the World
Catalogue by Ozerov (2005). A small paper about the family is available online in Spanish (Silva 1997) and the
“Manual of Central American Diptera” chapter on the Sepsidae (Silva 2010) has a key to all genera known to occur
in the Neotropics and a synopsis of the fauna of Central America. The Neotropical region presently includes 45
described valid species in 10 genera (Silva, submitted). In Colombia, only ten species in four genera are reported.
Probably due to their habit, the species found in Colombia have a wide distributional range. Only a
phylogeographic study will reveal if this is true or just an error caused by our fault in the recognition of the
individuals at the species level in this morphological and ecological uniform fly family.
All genus- and species-group names are listed alphabetically. Valid names are in bold type at the first mention.
Synonyms when mentioned subsequently are italicized. Each published name including synonyms is given in a
chronological sequence according to the scheme: the name of the species, author(s), year of description, page,
genus in the original description (if different from the valid one), type-locality (or localities in the case of syntypes;
updated name into brackets), information about the primary types and their deposition (and, if a lectotype, a
reference to the author and date of the designation), known geographic distribution. At the end we present a table
with all species found in Colombia, including rank and author (Table 1).

Abstract
Here we catalogued 23 species in two genera of Clusiidae from Colombia. For each species the available geographical
information is presented.
Key words: catalogue, Colombia, Diptera, distribution
Introduction
Clusiidae is a Brachycera “Acalyptratae” family with worldwide distribution. Adults measure between 3–6 mm
length; color yellow or dark brown and wing partially infuscate or hyaline; head round with three ocelli and ocellar
bristles present; vibrissa developed; antenna porrect, arista dorsoapical and pedicel with triangular extension on
margins; costal vein without breaks; and abdomen slender.
This catalog is based on the studies of Lonsdale & Marshall (2006a,b; 2007a,b; 2012). For Colombia, there are
registered two subfamilies, 23 species of Clusiidae in two genera (Table 1). The Colombian departments are
underlined and parenthetically notes specify localities. At the end, we provide a table that includes all species
known in the country (Table 1).

Abstract
Agromyzidae are a family with many species described throughout the world. The family is known as leaf-miner flies, for
the phytophagous habits of their larvae, feeding within plant tissues. This catalogue presents 74 species recorded from
Colombia, distributed in 12 genera and two subfamilies. For each species we present the available geographical distribution in the country.
Key words: Agromyzidae, catalogue, Colombia, distribution, leaf-miners
Introduction
Agromyzidae are small to median sized flies; most of the species ranging from 2–3 mm, with a maximum size of
6.5 mm. The body color is yellow, black, brown, gray, green metallic and some species show a coppery coloration.
Antennae with flagelomere short and round, sometimes elongated, widened, with a projection or spine. Frontoorbital and ocellar setae are strong, postocellars divergent, fronto-orbitals in one or more rows, usually reclinate,
but sometimes proclinate. Scutum with two to five dorsocentral setae, acrostichals present or absent. Costal break
present; Sc vein incomplete distally or reaching C as a linear fold, independently of R1 or fusing with R1 before
reaching C; CuA2 and A1 present, forming a small cell cup; A1 not reaching wing margin (Boucher 2010).
Boucher (2010) summarized the relationship of Agromyzidae with other Diptera families, which remains
unclear. According to Hennig (1958), Agromyzidae is more closely related to Odiniidae, or possibly to Clusiidae,
while Spencer (1969) suggested proximity between Odiniidae and Agromyzidae, based on genital similarities.
Odiniidae and Clusiidae were pointed out as sister groups of Agromyzidae, based on a cladistic analysis and a
study of the male postabdomen, respectively by Dempewolf (2001) and Griffiths (1972). McAlpine (1989)
included Agromyzidae, together with Odiniidae and Fergusoninidae, in the superfamy Agromyzoidea. The family
is generally divided into two subfamilies: Agromyzinae and Phytomyzinae, differentiated by the shape of subcostal
vein and larval cephalopharyngeal skeleton.
The larvae of Agromyzidae species are phytophagous and attack various plant parts such as leaf, root, stem,
seed and flower. Most species are leafminers, and cause great economic losses. The family has a large worldwide
distribution, with 2,800 species, 469 of them, distributed in 16 genera, present in the Neotropical region (Boucher
2010; Martinez & Etienne 2002). Martinez & Etienne (2002) removed the records of Liriomyza bryoniae
(Kaltenbach) and Calycomyza artemisiae (Kaltenbach) from the neotropics, as they were incorrect records.
This catalogue presents 74 species recorded from Colombia, distributed in 12 genera and two subfamilies
(Table 1). For each species we present the available geographical distribution in the country.
