Linepithema piliferum View in CoL
Distribution. Linepithema piliferum appears to be mainly a montane species ( Wild 2007). It is widely distributed along the Andean mountain system; 95% of records were over 1500 m (0–2800 m). L. piliferum was previously recorded in the departments of Antioquia, Cauca, Chocó, Huila, La Guajira, Nariño, Quindío, Risaralda, Tolima, and Valle del Cauca ( Wild 2007; Vergara-Navarro & Serna 2013); here we expand the distributional records to the departments of Boyacá, Caldas, Caquetá, Cundinamarca, Norte de Santander, and Putumayo ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ).
Biology. Linepithema piliferum was found in plantations of Eucalyptus , beans, coffee, pine, oak, and urapán ( Fraxinus chinensis Roxburgh ), as well as in mixed Andean forest, paddocks, forest fragments, forest edges, living fences, pastures, and glens.
