Only known from Galápagos this ant species is probably endemic to Galapagos (SENLLING & LONGINO, 1992). It only occurs in the Humid Zone of Isabela . Workers were collected for the first time in 1982 (SNELLING & LONGINO, 1992), in secondary forests near agricultural areas, where it was observed foraging between the leaf–litter. Cyphomyrmex nesiotus is one of the two species of fungus–growing ants recorded in Galápagos .
