In the Neotropical region, especially South America, Leptophlebiidae achieves its higher diversity, with 45 genera and almost 250 species. Colombia, diversity about this family is underestimated, only 22 species reported so far. order to contribute current knowledge of in Colombia we examined adults deposited at Colección Entomológica del Programa de Biología, Universidad Caldas. addition historical records herein presented, nine are registered for first time from country (Farrodes savagei,...

Hagenulopsis diptera Ulmer, type species of the genus Hagenulopsis, was originally described based on imagos from Santa Catarina State, Southern Brazil. Misconceptions H. circumscription led to erroneous attribution material Minas Gerais and Esprito Santo, Southeastern Brazil, diptera. Despite increase in number attributed little attention has been given species. After comparative examination photographs holotype fresh we conclude that many specimens previously assigned represent a new Thus,...
The knowledge gained about the distribution of Ephemeroptera in Colombia recent years have contributed to bridge information gaps this regard. This work research recorded Macunahyphes and Microphlebia genera for first time Colombia. Additionally, australis South America is extended, there a record species Vaupés Department Colombian Amazon Region. These findings update records neotropical zone.
