Pipunculus Latreille, 1802 is a cosmopolitan genus of big-headed flies (Pipunculidae), with nine known species in the Neotropical region, but completely unknown in Colombia. Three new species of Pipunculus are described from Colombia, namely Pipunculus caeruleus sp. nov. (type-locality: Pramo de Santa Ins, Belmira), P. chiminiguagua sp. nov. (type-locality: Cabaa Chaina, Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque) and P. planus sp. nov. (type-locality: Los Mudos, Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque). Illustrations and a new dichotomic key to the Neotropical species are presented. This paper increases the number of Neotropical Pipunculus to 11, five in South America and three in Colombia, which is now the South American country with the highest diversity of this genus.
皮昆库勒斯属（Pipunculus Latreille, 1802）是大头蝇科（Pipunculidae）的一个世界性属，在新热带地区有九个已知物种，但在哥伦比亚完全未知。本文从哥伦比亚描述了三个皮昆库勒斯属的新物种，即蓝头皮昆库勒斯新种（模式产地：普罗马德圣因斯，贝尔米拉）、奇米尼瓜瓜皮昆库勒斯新种（模式产地：卡瓦亚查纳，伊瓜奎动植物保护区）和扁头皮昆库勒斯新种（模式产地：洛斯穆德斯，伊瓜奎动植物保护区）。本文提供了插图和新的新热带物种二分检索表。本文将新热带皮昆库勒斯属的物种数量增加到 11 种，其中 5 种在南美洲，3 种在哥伦比亚，哥伦比亚现在是该属物种多样性最高的南美洲国家。
