Abstract
Background
A revised list of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) known to occur in Colombia is presented. A total of 324 species from 28 genera of Culicidae are included. The species names are organized in alphabetical order according to the current generic and subgeneric classification, along with their authorship. The list is compiled in order to support mosquito research in Colombia.
New information
Our systematic review and literature survey found, by 16 February 2015, 13 records of culicid species previously overlooked by mosquito catalogs for Colombia: Anopheles costai da Fonseca & da Silva Ramos, 1939, An. fluminensis Root, 1927, An. malefactor Dyar & Knab, 1907, An. shannoni Davis, 1931, An. vargasi Galbadón, Cova García & Lopez, 1941, Culex mesodenticulatus Galindo & Mendez, 1961, Haemagogus capricornii Lutz, 1904, Isostomyia espini (Martini, 1914), Johnbelkinia leucopus (Dyar & Knab, 1906), Mansonia indubitans Dyar & Shannon, 1925, Psorophora saeva Dyar & Knab, 1906, Sabethes glaucodaemon (Dyar & Shannon, 1925), and Wyeomyia intonca Dyar & Knab, 1909. Moreover, Wyeomyia (Dendromyia) luteoventralis Theobald, 1901 is recorded for Colombia for the first time. This work provides important insights into mosquito diversity in Colombia, using the current nomenclature and phylogenetic rankings.

Introduction
Currently, 3,543 species of Culicidae are formally recognized and distributed over a diverse range of habitats around the world (
Six mosquito catalogs list species that occur in Colombia:
Materials and methods
The species list was compiled from information available in previously published mosquito catalogs for Colombia (
The species presented in this list are arranged alphabetically by genus and subgenus. Species names are followed by their authorship and year of description, and the catalog or other source that first reported the species in Colombia. Our list follows the most recent mosquito classification compiled by

Discussion
This paper comprises the most complete and up-to-date list of mosquito species known to occur in Colombia, with a total of 324 species and 28 genera listed according to the latest nomenclature and classification. Our systematic review and literature survey found, by 16 February 2015, 13 records of culicid speciesoverlooked by previous mosquito catalogs for Colombia. These are: Anopheles costai, An. fluminensis and An. shannoni (cited by
In addition, we record Wyeomyia (Dendromyia) luteoventralis for the first time from Colombia. This species was originally described by Theobald (1901) from three females caught on human bait in Paraná state (Brazil). Wyeomyia luteoventralis is the type species of the subgenus Dendromyia Theobald, 1903 (
Although this report represents the most comprehensive list of mosquito species for Colombia, the 324 species included in this updated listing are unlikely to be a complete inventory of the Colombian mosquito fauna. Biodiversity data suggest that around 1,000 mosquito species will eventually be described from southern U.S.A. to Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru (
