    editores ste libro contiene los trabajos que se presentaron en el V Simposio sobre la EHistoria de Cartagena, llevado a cabo por el Área Cultural del Banco de la Repú- blica los días 15 y 16 de septiembre de 2005. El encuentro tuvo como tema la vida de la Haroldo Calvo Stevenson ciudad en el siglo xvii, centuria que, se po- y dría decir, empezó para Cartagena en 1586 y terminó en 1697, es decir, desde el ataque de Cartagena de indias Francis Drake hasta la toma de Pointis. en el siglo xvii El siglo xvii es el periodo menos estudiado de la historiografía nacional y cartagenera. Quizás la razón estriba en que se trata de una Adolfo Meisel Roca época que no tiene los tintes heroicos de la gesta conquistadora y fundacional del siglo xvii xvi, la vistosidad de la colonia virreinal del siglo xviii, o el drama y las tristezas del xix. Llama la atención, por ejemplo, que la Histo- el siglo ria económica de Colombia editada por José Antonio Ocampo, que es el texto estándar Adolfo Meisel Roca y Haroldo Calvo Stevenson editores sobre la materia desde hace unos veinte años, se inicia con un ensayo de Germán Colmenares sobre la formación de la economía colonial y salta a un estudio de Jaime Jaramillo Uribe sobre la economía del Virreinato. La historia de Cartagena, quizás por las mismas razones, no ha sido ajena a este olvido.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The aim of this paper is to actualize the taxonomy of Dorymyrmex, by addressing problems at both the genus and the species levels. We also explore the taxonomy and distribution of Dorymyrmex in Colombia. We list, diagnose, and key nine species in the country, including three new species: Dorymyrmex amazonicus n. sp. Cuezzo & Guerrero, Dorymyrmex xerophylus n. sp. Cuezzo & Guerrero, and Dorymyrmex tuberosus n. sp. Cuezzo & Guerrero. We provide a detailed description of these new species based on the worker caste and, where possible, other castes. All localities where Dorymyrmex was collected or cited in the literature were mapped to provide a graphical view of its range.

Fue gracias al profe Angel quien con su paciencia y sabias orientaciones me ubicó en este proceso en el que me encontraba bastante perdido y sin rumbo. Gratitud total profe, gracias por sus lecciones de historia, su apoyo para comprender los procesos de ordenamiento y sus correcciones sobre el texto que me permitieron dar forma y contenido a la presente tesis, los errores siguen siendo míos. En segundo lugar, deseo agradecer a mi familia por su apoyo durante varios años que demore en culminar este proceso. A mi padre, que me apoyo económicamente durante mi proceso de retomar materias y culminarlas, sin su apoyo sincero, decidido y constante no hubiese podido finalizar las materias de la maestría, además me brindo su hogar y su ayuda para tener la tranquilidad de escribir esta tesis. A mi madre, quien me enseño el amor por el terruño, por esa ciudad hermosa y mágica “la arenosa” que sirvieron de inspiración para escribir estas líneas sobre el Partido de Tierradentro, gracias madre por tu apoyo en los momentos difíciles, por estar siempre para mí y ayudarme en todo.
