Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists
Palaearctic Region: Canary Islands.

Biology
Espadaler (2007) - Occurring from 20 to 1300 m, cryptic and underground nesting species. The whole group of small yellow species of Solenopsis is in need of a revisionary study. The small, smooth, shining and morphologically convergent workers are extremely similar and sexuals seem to be the proper phenotype on which to base a sound taxonomy.
