Those are: Catenes, Cholula, Dushinckanus, Neomyocoris, Paracholula, Pephysena, Pseudoparomius, Stridulocoris. The 18 genera of Myodochini recorded from Colombia are listed. An overview of the collection localities and altitudinal range for 16 of those genera are provided. A key to the genera of Colombian Myodochini is presented with illustrations of the characters used and pictures of the head-pronotum.
