Comments.

This species was previously known only from the type locality (Porce, Antioquia) in northwestern Colombia. The worker at the AMNH was collected on the western slope of the Eastern Andes in central Colombia and bears a red label indicating a holotype designation by H.F. Schwarz, who intended to name it after the department.
