Abstract

The Muscidae species in Colombia are first catalogued. 108 species and 41 genera are reported to the country, added with 14 new species not yet described in Agenamyia, Apsil, Drymeia, Graphomya and Reinwardtia genera. There are 15 new species records to Colombia. References are given to the original descriptions and taxonomic, biological, and applied literature made for Colombia.
