Abstract
The hydroid Sertularelloides cylindritheca (Allman, 1888), was identified during the Colombia BIO Expedition “Lamuuna Neimalu'u” in April 2023, as a new record for the Colombian Caribbean Sea. The specimen was collected at 17.5 meters depth, on a shallow bank in the Gulf of Venezuela, located 9.62 km east of the town of Puerto Lopez, municipality of Uribia, in Alta Guajira. In addition, the records of the sixteen hydroids of the superfamily Sertularioidea reported for the country are listed.
