Zusammenfassung:Tenebrionidae is one of the most diverse families in Coleoptera. However, research on the family in Colombia is limited. Based on a comprehensive literature review, a list of tenebrionid species known from the country was compiled and the state of knowledge is analyzed. Based on this information, the Tenebrionidae in Colombia are represented by 326 species, organized into 95 genera (seven subgenera), 30 tribes, and nine subfamilies. Cundinamarca, including Bogota, presents the highest number of recorded species with 52, followed by Valle del Cauca with sixteen, and Bolivar with thirteen; eight departments have records for only a single species, and ten do not have records of any tenebrionid species. Potential reasons for the historically limited research on Colombian tenebrionids are discussed and actions to reduce these knowledge gaps are proposed. Keywords: Darkling beetles, biodiversity, Neotropical region, checklist, distribution. Tenebrionidae es una de las familias mas diversas en Coleoptera. Sin embargo, su investigacion en Colombia es limitada. A partir de una revision extensa de literatura, se compilo el listado de especies de Tenebrionidae y se analizo el estado del conocimiento de la familia en el pais. Basados en esta informacion, los Tenebrionidae en Colombia estan representados por 326 especies, organizadas en 95 generos (siete subgeneros), 30 tribus, y nueve subfamilias. Cundinamarca, incluyendo Bogota, presenta el mayor numero de especies registradas con 52, seguido de Valle del Cauca con dieciseis y Bolivar con trece; ocho departamentos registran una sola especie y diez no presentan registros de especies de Tenebrionidae. Se discuten razones potenciales que historicamente han limitado el conocimiento de los tenebrionidos en Colombia y se proponen acciones para reducir estos vacios de conocimiento. Palabras clave: Tenebrionidos, biodiversidad, region Neotropical, listado de especies, distribucion.
