Remarks.
This subspecies is recorded from
Colombia
and
Venezuela
. It inhabits lowland streams with waterfalls inside forest (between 0 and
450m
.
a.s.l.) along the
Magdalena
River Valley and extends northwest to the foothills of the Cordillera de
Merida
in
Táchira
and
Trujillo
States (
De Marmels 2008
). We found some variation on abdominal coloration with dorsum of S9 brown to black (
Fig. 7b
). It is sympatric with
H. aequatoriale
and
H. erythrogastrum
in different localities (see information above in the biology section of these species). New localities are recorded at
Antioquia
and
Caldas
Departments (
Fig. 2
).
