Geographical distribution. Argentina; Bahamas; Brazil; Costa Rica; Cuba; Dominica; USA.; Haiti; Jamaica; Mexico; Nicaragua; Peru; ( Ale-Rocha & Souza 2011; Rodriguez & Rafael 2012); Colombia (new record) ( Fig. 133 ).

Habitat. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps placed at the ground level in the following areas: a sugar cane plantation ( Sacharum officinarum ); a tropical humid forest reserve in the Colombian Amazon; Departament of Caquetá, Parque Nacional Natural La Paya with savanna vegetation; floodplain forests of the Orinoco region at Parque Nacional Natural La Macarena; the dry tropical forest of the Andean region in the Santuario de Fauna y Flora Iguaque and the Caribbean region at Santuario de Fauna y Flora Los Colorados.

Comments. The specimens observed in this study are smaller and have a surstylus basally narrower compared to the holotype illustrated by Ale-Rocha & Rafael (1995).
