A new riffle beetle, Zunielmis pax gen. et sp. nov. , is described from Colombia (Vichada, Puerto Carre\ño, Bita River basin). It can be distinguished from all the other elmids by having large areas of a microgranular mesh (plastron) on the pronotum and elytra, crenulate lateral margin of the latter two, the shorter interocular distance than diameter of each eye, as well as by the characters of the structure of mandibles, the shape and sculpture of pronotum, and the structure ofmesosternum,mesotibiae and elytra. The imagoes were collected on freshwater sponges. The habitat, where the new species was found, is described, and the adaptive meaning of the characteristics of plastron are discussed. Drawings and photographs of the adult habitus, distinctive morphological characters, and male and female genitalia are provided.

Material belonging to the genus Notelmis Hinton y Onychelmis Hinton from different localities from Colombia are evaluated. Two species of Notelmis (N. bifoveolata and N. nodipes) and one of Onychelmis (O. leleupi) are recorded in this country for the first time. The species have been previously found in Ecuador, Panama and Costa Rica. The distribution ranges for the genera Notelmis, Onychelmis, and for the species O. longicollis are also expanded for Colombia. Specimens are mainly located in the Andean natural region between altitudes of 96 and 2,700 meters above sea level. The information is supplemented with illustrated taxonomic keys for identification of the species, distribution maps, and ecological data for the sampling locations.
