Abstract

An overview of the order Strepsiptera in Colombia is provided. The family Halictophagidae is recorded for the first time based on a female parasitizing a treehopper Ceresini (Membracidae). Strichotrema beckeri is a new record for the country. The ant genus Megalomyrmex is documented as a new host for Caenocholax fenyesi. A short review of the ants parasitized by Strepsiptera in the Neotropics is presented. Currently, the order in Colombia is known for the families Halictophagidae, Myrmecolacidae and Stylopidae.
