Comments. This is a new record for Colombia and South America with previous records known from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica (Wilson 2003). In the soldier´s illustration by Wilson (2003), this one has wellmarked rugoreticulae towards the middle of the vertex and the anterior portion of the vertex lobes, while on the Colombian specimen the rugoreticulae are arranged in a horizontal patch that fades towards the middle of the vertex and the anterior portion of the vertexal lobes, without extending to the posterior portion.
