Remarks.
Most collections of this species were made with CDC light traps in disturbed areas such as acahual and coffee plantations. Some specimens were collected outside of the houses and very few were collected in the ever green forest. Only six specimens were collected with a Magoon trap. Female feeding habits are unknown but they are not anthropophilic.
