Abstract
Knowledge on the geographical distribution of orchid bee species in Colombia and most of the Neotropics depends on monitoring and sample methodologies implemented and facilities to access diverse natural regions. In addition, for research on the distribution of species, the taxonomic impediment is a problem for the identification and confirmation of some species, although the tribe Euglossini presents a relatively well-developed taxonomy. Herein is presented the first record of Eufriesea bare in Colombia, an orchid bee species known only in the Venezuelan Amazonian region; as well as the distribution of three euglossine species of the genus Euglossa.
