Mochtherus tetraspilotus (Macleay, 1825) has been introduced into the Americas, where it was first detected in United States in 1992 from Palm Beach Co., Highlands Co., and Alachua Co., Florida (Choate 2001).Gil (2008) mentioned this species was previously collected in Lousiana, in the New Orleans East area, and confirms that M. tetraspilotus has expanded its range farther north in this state, suggesting M. tetraspilotus is established in this country.However, until now, there were no reports of its occurrence or migration into Central or South America (Figure 1).The genus that is made up of at least 10 species and individuals range in body length from 6-8 mm.Recently, while doing a taxonomic review of Pericalina specimens at the Entomological Museum of the Universidad del Valle (Cali-Colombia) we found some unidentified specimens that were morphologically compatible with M. tetraspilotus.Historically, this eco-area represents a deciduous dry forest, mixed with evergreen dry forest, and a gallery forest along the Cauca River, connected with the biogeographic Chocó area (Holdridge 1967).
