The species was transferred to Orellana Distant as the type species of the genus ( Distant 1905b). Boulard (1975) assigned the species to Zammara Amyot and Audinet- Serville but later retained Orellana as a valid genus ( Boulard and Sueur 1996). As a result, the species assignment to Orellana is clarified here. The presence of three tarsomeres separates Orellana from Zammara and this species possesses three tarsomeres. The species has been reported from Colombia ( Metcalf 1963a). It has been reported from Medellin in Colombia ( Distant 1881b; Jacobi 1907).
