The total number of taxa discussed is 61 (7 Dryptus, 54 Plekocheilus); of these, four ColombianDryptus and 32 Plekocheilus species are included. The following new species are described: Plekocheilus (P.) bigener, P. (P.) incognitus, Plekocheilus (Eurytus) camaritagua, P. (E.) labiosus, and P. (E.) paraguas. The following nominal taxa are now synonymized: Plekocheilus (P.) speciosus (Pfeiffer, 1854) = P. (P.) plectostylus (Pfeiffer, 1848); Plekocheilus (Eurytus) couturesi Ancey, 1900 = P. (P.) glandiformis (Lea, 1838); Plekocheilus (Aeropictus) latilabris (Pfeiffer, 1855) = P. (A.) succineoides (Petit de la Saussaye, 1840); Plekocheilus (Eurytus) virgatus (Pilsbry, 1935) = P. (E.) mabillei (Crosse, 1867) = P. (E.) pulicarius (Reeve, 1848). Also, Simpulopsis fulguratus Miller, 1878 is now considered a junior subjective synonym of Simpulopsis (Eudioptus) citrinovitrea (Moricand, 1836). For the following species, precise localities are given for the first time: Dryptus stuebeli (Martens, 1885), Plekocheilus (Aeropictus) cathcartiae (Reeve, 1848), P. (E.) cardinalis (Pfeiffer, 1853), P. (Eurytus) episcopalis auriformis (Da Costa, 1904), P. (E.) episcopalis corticosus (Sowerby, 1895), and P. (E.) lynciculus (Deville & Huppe, 1850). Newly recorded for the Colombian malaco-fauna are the following taxa: Plekocheilus (P.) couturesi (Ancey, 1900), P. (Eurytus)piperitus (Sowerby I, 1837). The following taxa are excluded from the Colombian fauna: Dryptus funckii (Nyst, 1843), Plekocheilush(Aeropictus) veranyi (Pfeiffer, 1848), Plekocheilus (Eurytus) jimenezi (Hidalgo, 1872).

A diagnosis is given for the closely related C. crocineus Smith 1959, also with underwater photographs. Ctenogobiops maculosus is presently known only from the Red Sea. Ctenogobiops crocineus is wide-ranging from the Red'Sea, and Indian Ocean (type locality, Seychelles), to the western Pacific, with records from the Great Barrier Reef and the Ryukyu Islands. The record of C. maculosus from Taiwan by Thacker et al. (2010) is reidentified as C. crocineus, a first record for the island, and their range extension of C. crocineus to Fiji is confirmed.
