The Spissipes section of the subgenus <jats:italic>Melanoconion </jats:italic>Theobald, 1903 of <jats:italic>Culex </jats:italic>Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera, Culicidae) consists of 23 species, many of which transmit various subtypes of Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus.

Here are reported two first records of Spissipes section females from Guain&amp;iacute;a Department, Colombia. Females of <jats:italic>Culex gnomatos </jats:italic>Sallum et al., 1997 and <jats:italic>Culex portesi </jats:italic>Senevet &amp; Abonnenc, 1941, were observed biting the author and photographed <jats:italic>in situ</jats:italic>.
