This taxon was described from Antilles. It is also found in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, United States, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada.

Puerto Rico
Wheeler (1908): Common under stones, in Tillandsias and under bark. A number of females taken from a single nest at Arecibo are wingless and subergatoid like those I have described from the Bahamas.
