Material examined: COLOMBIA, Atlántico: Usiacurí ( Reserva Campesina La Montaña , 260 m, 10°46.0’02.6”N, 75°00.2’34.0”W,tropical dry forest), 2males, 12-13.V.2018, García,K. col., manual capture ( MZSP) ; Bolívar: San Jacinto ( Reserva La Flecha , 324 m, 09°51.0’12.4”N, 75°10’41.4”W, tropical dry forest), 1 female, V.2017, Mendoza, I. col., light trap ( UARC) ; Tolima: Armero-Guayabal Mendez ( Hda Bremen , 300 m, 05°05’317”N, 74°45’812”W), 1 male, 17.IX.1995, Fernández, F. col., malaise ( MZSP) .

Remarks: Gnomidolon bellus was described by Martins & Galileo (2002) based on two males from Colombia (Tolima). The authors described the integument col- or as reddish on the prothorax and anterior fifth of elytra. I compared a few specimens from Colombia (from the Caribbean region) with a paratype deposited at the MZSP ( Fig. 1C ) and noticed that the Caribbean specimens are darker: head, prothorax and anterior half of the elytra black ( Fig. 1D ), which is considered a chromatic variation as there are no morphological differences between the specimens examined. Currently, this species was only known from the department of Tolima, thus I am registering it for the first time from the department of Atlántico and Bolívar in Colombia.
