(ANTWEB: CASENT0173306). ( Map 43 )

Only known from Galápagos ( BOLTON et al., 2006), H. beebei is found on eight islands in natural areas, humid zones and occasionally in the dry and littoral zones. It was collected for the first time in 1923 from Genovesa Island and could be endemic (WHEELER, 1924). In the littoral zones specimens have been collected under stones and on sandy beaches surrounded by C. pyriformis . It has been collected from leaf litter in the humid areas. On Fernandina a few specimens were collected in an area with ferns and grasses near the summit (1300 m).
