Remarks to distribution: According to IRMLER (2017) only the holotype was known, originating from Honduras. Three further specimens were found in the collection of the Field Museum of Natural History that were collected in Oaxaca, Mexico. The new locality shows that the species may be rare but has a wider distribution in the area from central Honduras to southern Mexico.
