In the Neotropical region it is so far known from Jamaica ( Maldonado & Farr 1977 ), Cuba , Panama ( Champion 1899), and Trinidad and Tobago ( GBIF 2024 ). Despite P. biannulipes being found in many countries around the world, it is the first time that this genus and species are formally recorded from Colombia . FIGURE 16 .

P. biannulipes ; B. dorsal view; C. detail of the head in lateral view; D. lateral view. Remarks: Peregrinator biannulipes is the combination currently recognized as valid for this species, as it has been erroneously placed in Alloecranum Reuter, 1881 ( Ghauri 1962 ). This species is commonly associated with stored grain because of its predatory habits over grain pest species ( Awadallah et al. 1984 ; Maldonado & Farr 1977 ). The examined specimens from Palmira were found in a warehouse (“bodega”), probably a grain warehouse, thus explaining its presence there. In contrast, the specimens from Gutierrez were collected on vegetation using an entomological net. Examined material : COLOMBIA .
