This species was described based on a single specimen from Panama (Chiriquí). Gilmour (1965) transferred it to Nyssodrystes Gilmour, 1963 , a genus currently in the synonymy of Nyssodrysternum Gilmour, 1960 . Monné (1985) transferred Nyssodrys infima to Nyssodrysina Casey, 1913 . Currently, the species is also known from Costa Rica ( Swift et al., 2010), Bolivia ( Wappes et al., 2006), and Brazil (Rondônia) ( Bezark, 2013).

The species was registered by Ødegaard (2004) in Brosimum utile (Kunth) Oken (Moraceae) . This species of tree is present in Central America and widely distribut- ed in Amazonian regions of South America. Most likely, the current records of N. infima underestimate its actual distribution, which must be similar to that of its host plant. The presence of N. infima in the state of Espírito Santo, raises the question if the species uses other trees of the genus Brosimum as host plant or was introduced in the region. According to Machado & Pederneiras (2007), there are six species of trees of this genus occurring in state of Espírito Santo.
