is relatively widespread in the Neotropical Region, found in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama. This species was collected mainly in the rainforest and at elevations ranging from 50-1050 m. Individuals and nest series were collected from the leaf-litter and soil, using Winkler extractors and pitfall traps.
