The present paper discusses the distributional patterns of Colombian riodinines; it is considered that most species can be ascribed to five distinct faunistic regions: the east slope of the Andes, the upper and lower Rio Magdalena Valley, the upper Rio Cauca Valley and the Choco (Colombian Pacific Coast). Data gathered on 297 taxa have allowed a comparison among the five faunistic regions. It is considered that the present major distributional patterns of riodinines in Colombia have been shaped by geological events during most of the Cenozoic, and the great climatic changes of the Pleistocene.
