Resumo
Three new species of Mycetophilidae – Cordyla monticola sp. n., Cordyla pseudopusilla sp. n. and Cordyla
reducta sp. n. – are described from the Colombian Andes, representing the first described species of Cordyla
Meigen from the Neotropical region. Colour photos of their habitus, wing and terminalia are provided.
The morphological affinities of male terminalia are discussed in a worldwide context. The distributional
pattern of the genus clearly indicates a case of northern elements reaching the north-western region of the
Neotropics that corresponds to a secondary extension of a Holarctic clade to the south.
