A new species of hangingfly, Bittacus rafaeli sp. nov., was described and illustrated based on two specimens from El Doncello, Caqueta, Colombia. This brings the total number of Mecoptera species recorded in Colombia to nine and the number of Bittacus species in South America to twenty-eight. A distribution map of Bittacus species from Colombia was also provided.
