Abstract: Based on the available literature and a review of collections of organisms, a checklist of 69 myriapod species was made for the Colombian Caribbean region; two symphyls, 15 Chilopods, and 52 Diplopods. In total, 20 families (one from Symphyla, five from Chilopoda, and 14 from Diplopoda), from 11 orders (one from Symphyla, three from Chilopoda, and seven from Diplopoda). Each species\&$\#$39;s geographical range by department, altitud, reference collection, and bibliographic source were included. The presence in Colombian collections of diplopod specimens that are new records of their taxonomic group for the region, such as Chondrodesmus cf. riparius (Chelodesmidae), two species of Fuhrmannodesmidae, three of Paradoxosomatidae and one of Lophoproctidae. Likewise, two species of Scolopendrellidae of the class Symphyla. This demonstrates the urgent need to complete the essential diversity inventories of the main groups of organisms in the face of the alarming environmental deterioration to which the Colombian Caribbean region is subjected.

Lista de miri\ápodos (Arthropoda: Myriapoda) de la regi\ón Caribe colombiana

Resumen: Con base en la literatura disponible, y revisi\ón de colecciones de organismos, se realiz\ó una lista de chequeo de 69 especies de miri\ápodos para la regi\ón Caribe colombiana; dos sinfilos, 15 quil\ópodos y 52 dipl\ópodos. En total 20 familias (una de Symphyla, cinco de Chilopoda y 14 de Diplopoda), pertenecientes a 11 \órdenes (uno de Symphyla, tres de Chilopoda y siete de Diplopoda). Para cada especie se incluy\ó su \ámbito geogr\áfico por departamentos, \ámbito altitudinal, colecci\ón de referencia y fuente bibliogr\áfica. Se confirm\ó la presencia en colecciones colombianas de espec\ímenes de dipl\ópodos que son nuevos registros de su grupo taxon\ómico para la regi\ón, como Chondrodesmus cf. riparius (Chelodesmidae), dos especies de Fuhrmannodesmidae, tres de Paradoxosomatidae y una de Lophoproctidae. Asimismo, dos especies de Scolopendrellidae de la clase Symphyla. Esto demuestra la imperiosa necesidad de completar los inventarios b\ásicos de diversidad de los principales grupos de organismos ante el alarmante deterioro ambiental al que est\á sometida la regi\ón Caribe colombiana.
