The soldier of is described from a xeric, termite-depauperate region of central Peru. and are described from soldiers and dealated imagos collected in a mesic forest of Amboró National Park in western Bolivia. The imago of is unique among all described species in that the head capsule is reddish orange and the pronotum is brown. The imago head and pronotum are both brown in . A phylogenetic and GMYC barcode analyses were performed with the COI gene. These analyses confirmed the three new species and revealed a high undescribed diversity of in the New World.
该士兵蚁来自秘鲁中部干旱、白蚁稀少的地区。另外两种是从玻利维亚西部安博罗国家公园的湿润森林中采集的兵蚁和脱翅成虫描述而来。在所有已描述的该属物种中,某一种的成虫独特之处在于其头壳呈红橙色,前胸背板为棕色。而另一种的成虫头部和前胸背板均为棕色。利用细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)基因进行了系统发育和广义混合Yule 聚类(GMYC)条形码分析。这些分析证实了这三个新物种,并揭示了新世界中该属存在高度未被描述的多样性。
