Comm.: Clogmia has been considered a junior synonym of the genus Telmatoscopus Eaton, 1904 ( Vaillant 1972) , although most taxonomists currently accept its generic status. It is represented in Colombia by the following cosmopolitan species, widely adapted to anthropogenic habitats and has been identified in other countries as an agent of human myiasis ( Mohammed & Smith 1976, Kamimura & Arakawa 1986, Hyun et al. 2004, Tu et al. 2007, El-Badry et al. 2014) and as a potential mechanical vector of bacterial pathogens ( Faulde & Spiesberger 2013).
