Comments. This species is currently known from Bolivia, Brazil, and Ecuador. The records above confirm the presence of this species in the Colombian Amazon (Fig. 4; 194– 540 m.). A specimen from Peru deposited in SEMC and standing under L. limao turned out to be a female worker of L. rufa (Friese, 1903) (see below). Thus, L. limao does not occur in Peru.
