Abstract
Biramus Oswald, 1993 is a genus of hemerobiids (Neuroptera) distinguished by morphological traits from the forewing. This genus is distributed in Venezuela, Costa Rica, Panama, and Mexico. Here, we recorded for the first time Biramus in Colombia based on a single female specimen collected in the upper Andean mountain forests of the country above 3000 m elevation (Guasca, Cundinamarca). This new record extends the genus' distribution by 932 km in the northwest region of South America and represents its highest altitudinal record, expanding its elevational distribution by 1373 m
