A new genus and a new species, Colomboga brachyptera gen. et sp. n., of the subfamily Colpopterinae (Nogodinidae) is described from Central Colombia. This is the first published record of Colpopterinae from the country and the first representative of this subfamily with rather short forewings. Generic placement and possible phylogenetic affinities of Colomboga gen. n. to other genera within the tribe Colpopterini are discussed.
