摘要

To date, 17 species of terrestrial iso-pods are recorded from the Colombian Caribbean. During recent surveys in the Botanical Garden of Cartagena "Guillermo Pineres", Turbaco, Bolivar, Colombia, six species were recognized, belonging to the families Philosciidae, Scleropactidae, Platyarthridae and Arma-dillidae, of which three are new to the science, and described here: Colomboniscus carpioi sp.n. (Scleropactidae), Ctenorillo dazai sp.n. (Armadillidae), and Trichorhina bermudezae sp.n. (Platyarthridae). This represents the first record of Ctenorillo to Colombia and of Trichorhina and Colomboniscus to the Colombian Caribbean region. Finally, Venezillo gigas is re-described.
