Diagnosis
This species is distinguished by a small triangular projection of the medial clypeus, not projecting beyond the outline of the clypeolabral junction; further, ventral margin of petiole is less symmetrical (Fig. 20).
Distribution
Wadeura holmgrenita was previously known from Peru (Madre de Dios and Cusco) (Branstetter and Longino 2022). Although W. holmgrenita is considered a rarely collected species, our collection data suggest that it is widely distributed in the Basin of the Rio Hacha. This record represents the second known occurrence of the species in South America and the first record in Colombia.
Biology
The workers were collected 20 cm deep on the ground in the cloud forest of the Andean-Amazonian transition zone in Caquetá. Delabie et al. (2000) mentioned that Wadeura species could be specialised predators of soil termites.
Notes
The Colombian population of W. holmgrenita match largely with the type material of the species, at least in the shape of the subpeciolar process, mandibles and clypeus. The specimens from Caquetá present a slight variation in pilosity, having erect and suberect pilosity on the lateral margins of the head and generating an appearance of dense pilosity.
