Remarks

The specimens studied here exhibit the paired tubercles of free tergite III directed sub-parallel (nondivergent) and positioned closer to each other. However, due to a lack of knowledge about intraspecific variations and the unavailability of male specimens for studying genital morphology, the material from Colombia is assigned tentatively to this species.

Distribution

Peru: Loreto ( Sørensen 1932; Kury 2003); Colombia: Amazonas.
