Distribution. Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.
Remarks. Most common species at the study site. This species very rarely exhibits an interesting red phenotype (Figs. 100–103), probably caused by the substrate (e.g. inflorescences) on which the specimens spend their postembryonic development.
