We update taxonomic and geographic information for genus Ochthera in Colombia, a taxon containing beneficial species known by their predatory habits on terrestrial insects and mosquito larvae. We consider a first record of Ochthera (O.) pilosa, and new distribution data of Ochthera (O.) regalis and Ochthera (O.) angustifacies, adding illustrations, comments on their distribution, and maps.

Keywords : angustifacies; pilosa; regalis; shore flies; taxonomy..
