Gnamptogenys caelata Kempf (1967)

Distribution in Brazil. MARANHÃO: Açailândia (new record); MINAS GERAIS: Nova Lima (new record); PARÁ: Belém ( Kempf and Brown, 1968); PARANÁ: Iguaçu ( Kempf, 1967); RONDÔNIA: Porto Velho (new record). Despite its widespread distribution in South America, the records are few and sparse, and these new records begin to fill in the significant gaps. Most records suggest a preference for lowland sites, although one is from 1400 m.
