Annotated list of beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) in an urban area of the Eastern Andes of Colombia

We present the first list of beetle species from an urban area in the northeast Andes of Colombia, based on a review of specimens deposited in the insect collection of the "Luis Gonzalo Andrade" Natural History Museum of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC) and from sporadic collections from various points around the city of Tunja, Boyacá. We recorded 34 species, 30 genera, 17 subfamilies, and 12 families of beetles. Of these, 10 new records for the department of Boyacá and two new species records for Colombia are reported. In addition, the type of urban habitat in which the individuals of 24 species collected is described : 11 species in gray areas (roads, sidewalks, houses, buildings) and 8 in green areas (parks, pastures, plantations). Our results form a baseline for further studies on biodiversity in urban ecosystems in the eastern Andes of Colombia.
