Herein, the unknown male of Calocomus kreuchelyi Buquet, 1840 is described, including its terminalia, and the species is newly recorded for the Casanare department. Additionally, a map of the geographical distribution of C. kreuchelyi and an updated key to the species of Calocomus are provided. The validity of the spelling “kreuchelyi” is discussed.
