We found solitary adults under leaves of Melastomataceae, on plants with parabiotic ants ( Camponotus femoratus and Crematogaster cf. limata) and other treehoppers ( Dioclophara sp., Tropidolomia sp., Anobilia aff. guianae). In MPUJ, specimens were labeled as collected on Melastomataceae . This is the first record of this species for Colombia.
