Lestrimelitta piedemontana Gonzalez and Rasmussen, 2010 View in CoL
Lestrimelitta piedemontana Gonzalez and Rasmussen View in CoL , in Gonzalez et al. 2010: 320 [♀].
Material examined. COLOMBIA. Vaupés: 1♀, Vda. Bogotá Cachivera , 31 dic. 2017, col: W. Estrada / 31085 ( LABUN) .
Comments. This species occurs in the Amazon and Orinoquia regions of Colombia, from 182 to 860 m. ( Fig. 4 View Figure 4 ). It is morphologically similar to L. rufa , differing primarily in the length of the mesotibial spur (long in the former and reduced in the latter species). Both species might be conspecifics ( Gonzalez et al. 2010), but until further studies demonstrate this, we consider them as different biological units.
