    The Culicidae family has two of the most important disease vector genus: <i>Aedes</i> spp. and <i>Culex</i> spp. Both of these are involved in the transmission of arboviruses. Here, we provide novel data for the geographical distribution of 2,383 specimens in the Culicidae family. We also report the percentage of houses infested with these vectors, and Shannon and Simpson diversity indices in three municipalities located in Cauca, Colombia. This dataset is relevant for research on vector-borne diseases because <i>Aedes</i> spp. can transmit arboviruses such as dengue, Zika and chikungunya, and <i>Culex</i> spp. is a well-known vector of West Nile virus and Venezuelan equine encephalitis.
