Countries Occupied
Number of countries occupied by this species based on AntWiki Regional Taxon Lists. In general, fewer countries occupied indicates a narrower range, while more countries indicates a more widespread species. |
Estimated Abundance
Relative abundance based on number of AntMaps records per species (this species within the purple bar). Fewer records (to the left) indicates a less abundant/encountered species while more records (to the right) indicates more abundant/encountered species. |
Biology
Jack Longino: This species is known from males only. During an 18-month program of sampling using blacklight traps at La Selva, as part of the ALAS project, five males were obtained in three different samples. The males occurred during December and January. A male occurred in a blacklight trap sample from the 500m site (El Ceibo) on the Barva transect. Ronald Vargas collected a male at a light at the 1100m site on the Barva transect.
