Based on the review of literature and biological collections, information retrieved from public online databases, and from fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2020, we provide more than 3500 occurrence records and an updated checklist of Colombian Saturniidae, annotated with distribution data for all species. In the first checklist of Colombian saturniids published two decades ago, a total of 184 species were cited; in the current update the number has risen to 653 species/subspecies classified in 55 genera, representing all six recognized Neotropical subfamilies. The Andean and Pacific regions are the richest, accounting for about three quarters of all species listed herein. We call attention to the fact that for most speciose saturniid genera in the Neotropics, there remains a significant need for further taxonomic and systematic research with objective and integrative approaches. Likewise, it is necessary to continue the study of Saturniidae moths in Colombia, strategically increasing the sampling efforts in specific under-sampled natural regions to further document the diversity of this family in the country.
基于文献回顾和生物标本采集，从公共在线数据库以及 2015 年至 2020 年开展的实地调查中获取信息，我们提供了超过 3500 条的发生记录和更新的哥伦比亚 Saturniidae 清单，其中所有物种的分布数据都有注释。在 20 年前出版的第一份哥伦比亚 Saturniidae 清单中，共引用了 184 个物种；在本次更新中，数量已增加到 653 个物种/亚种，分为 55 个属，代表了所有 6 个公认的新热带亚科。安第斯山脉和太平洋地区最为丰富，占本文列出的所有物种的四分之三左右。我们注意到，对于大多数在新热带地区种类繁多的 Saturniidae 属来说，仍然需要采用客观和综合的方法进一步进行分类学和系统学研究。同样，有必要继续在哥伦比亚研究 Saturniidae 飞蛾，有策略地增加在特定采样不足的自然区域的采样工作，以进一步记录该地区的多样性。
