( Fig. 8H , 9E )

We found solitary adults under leaves of Melastomataceae , on plants with parabiotic ants ( Camponotus femoratus and Crematogaster cf. limata ) and other treehoppers ( Dioclophara sp. , Tropidolomia sp. , Anobilia aff. guianae ). In MPUJ, specimens were labeled as collected on Melastomataceae . This is the first record of this species for Colombia.

The specimens with the following labels were examined: “ COLOMBIA Casanare, Taura- / mena, Kiosco Verde,. 5km / SW de Tauramena , 526m, / 5.00385°N 72.77376°W, 8–12 / Sep 2014, D.
