Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.

Remarks. Most common species at the study site. This species very rarely exhibits an interesting red phenotype ( Figs. 100–103 ), probably caused by the substrate (e.g. inflorescences) on which the specimens spend their postembryonic development.
