Described from a few females in
Peru
, this dark brown species has been collected from grasses at Piracicaba (Monteiro 1999) and a short series from Mato Grosso is deposited at Natural History Museum, London. The pedicel on antennal segment III is slightly swollen apically, but the disc is not as sharp-edged as that of
caseariae
, and ocellar setae pair III are placed slightly further forward. The few specimens available for study of these two species could equally well be interpreted as representing variation within a single species.
