Mallophora Macquart, 1834 is a bee-mimicking genus of Asilidae, which has more than 50 described species in the Neotropical Region. Examination of specimens of this genus from Colombia indicate that there are two undescribed species based on the structure of the hind leg of males. Here we describe Mallophora gauteovan sp. nov. and Mallophora kalos sp. nov. from Tayrona National Park (Magdalena) and Arauca, respectively. For each new species a diagnosis and a description including the structure of the face, thorax, male hind leg, abdomen, and hypandrium are provided. All morphological structures are documented with digital photographs.
麦氏蜂虻属（Mallophora Macquart，1834）是食蚜蝇科（Asilidae）中的一个拟蜂属，在新热带地区有超过 50 种已描述的物种。对来自哥伦比亚的该属标本的检查表明，根据雄性后足的结构，有两个未被描述的物种。本文描述了来自泰罗纳国家公园（ Magdalena ）和阿劳卡（Arauca）的麦氏蜂虻属的麦氏蜂虻新种（ Mallophora gauteovan sp. nov.）和麦氏蜂虻新种（ Mallophora kalos sp. nov.）。对每个新种都提供了一个诊断和描述，包括面部、胸部、雄性后足、腹部和生殖节的结构。所有形态结构都用数码照片记录。
