The order Scolopendromorpha includes 700 species of centipedes worldwide. It is the most diverse group of myriapods in Colombia with ~40 species and six subspecies. In this work, the number of centipede species known in the country was updated from a review of specialized literature, as well as databases and specimen records in online digital collections. New records of 19 species and one subspecies were found. Thus, the richness of the group increased to fifty-four species and seven subspecies within three families, five subfamilies, eight genera, and seven subgenera. In addition, 30 of the 32 departments of the Colombian territory registered a representative identified at least at the gender level. Antioquia, Boyacá and Cundinamarca are the departments with the highest species richness.
