Abstract

The current work provides the first confirmed record of Ninia atrata in the northern foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, La Guajira department, Colombia. This record extends the Colombian known species’ distribution ca. 320 km NW from the northernmost record and represents the first observation of the species in the Caribbean Region of Colombia.
