Here we present the first distribution record for Eurysternus foedus in the Macizo de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta province (Magdalena, Colombia) as the result of species inventory in the RNN El Congo, Municipio of Cienaga. Even though this specie is widely distributed it had not been previously collected in any of the recent studies developed in the region. This adds to the species richness of theSierra and highlights the overall lack of information on this provincebiodiversity.
