The genus Cholomyia Bigot, 1884 belongs to the tribe Myiophasiini (Diptera, Tachinidae, Tachininae) and presents Neotropical and Nearctic distribution. The most notable feature of this genus is the elongate median legs in males. There are four species described in the genus: C. acromion (Wiedemann, 1824), C. filipes (Walker, 1857), and C. inaequipes Bigot, 1884. C. calceata (Wulp, 1891). In this work, a taxonomic revision is made from materials deposited in national and international scientific collections. All species have been recognized and studied except C. Calceata (Wulp, 1891), because no material was examined and the available data are restricted to the original description. A new species is described and proposed to Costa Rica. An identification key to the species studied was made. The first description of male terminalia to genus is performed in this work. New distributional data are added to the species
