Material examined. IAVH, 1 specimen, Quindío, Filandia, M. C Pimienta, 23-II- 2005, 1978 m, 04º41,123'N 75º36.263'O, fogging, dosel Sábana #4, Fca. Agroforestal Bengala .

Distribution. Cormocephalus impressus is found in western South America, Peru, as well as in Brazil, and now in Colombia from the Andean Región. The type locality of C. impressus is uncertain because Porat (1876) mentioned only “St. Domingo”, a common locality name in South America. It was reported from Salomon Islands by Chamberlin (1920) as Cupipes propulsus Chamberlin, 1920 , but this record is doubtful. This nominal taxon was synonymyzed by Attems (1930) under C. impressus .

Altitudinal range. Known only from one locality at 1978 m.
