Three species of Echiniscus are recorded for the first time from Colombia: Echiniscus dariae, Echiniscus kofordi, and Echiniscus perarmatus. In addition, the description of the new species Bryodelphax kristenseni sp. n., is mainly based on the presence of ten paired plus two unpaired granularly sculptured ventral plates, the dorsal plate ornamentation with superficial irregular pores, no spine on the anterior legs, and the hind legs without papillae or dentate collar.
