This species was described from Brazil (Rio São Francisco – “Habitat ad flumen S. Francisci”). According to Papavero (1971), about traveling of Johann Baptist von Spix and Karl Friedrich Philipp von Martius on Brazil: “Following a N-NE direction, they crossed the Rio São Francisco and the Rio Carinhanha, entering the present State of Bahia (at that time a part of the Province of Pernambuco), going as far as the Serra Geral, and returning by Côcos (SD-23, 45-4d) to Carinhanha (SD-23, 44-14d) and Malhada (SD-23, 44-14d)”; “Leaving the latter city, after 4 days of marching, they arrived in Joàzeiro (SC-24, 41-9d), on the North of the Province, at the Banks of the Rio São Francisco, on the frontier with Pernambuco, where finally they found abundant water”. As Spix and Martius crossed the Rio São Francisco twice (one in the north of Minas Gerais and another in northern Bahia), it is not possible to know in which of these stages of the journey the holotype of Callidium tricolor was collected. Currently this species is recorded from Bolivia, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil (Paraíba, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo) (Tavakilian, 2013).
