Remarks. No specific Colombian localities are known for this species, but occurrence in northeastern Colombia is likely. Despite the vague localities, the records available would suggest that this species may occur in the bor- der area between Venezuela and Colombia. The specimen from Mérida is the first precise locality of this species. See also remarks under the next taxon.
