Species: Tatuidris tatusia

Taxonomic History (provided by Barry Bolton, 2013)

Distribution:

Mexico, El Salvador (type locality), Costa Rica, Colombia.

Biology:

Natural History:

I know this species primarily from Winkler samples of sifted litter from the forest floor. I have seen collections from three sites on the Atlantic slope of Costa Rica: La Selva Biological Station, 1100m on the Barva Transect in Braulio Carrillo National Park, and at 800m in the Penas Blancas Valley east of Monteverde (where it appears to be sympatric with Tatuidris JTL-001). All collections have been from mature wet forest.

Notes:

One specimen from La Selva Biological Station (specimen code INB0003678143) has the erect hairs reduced to a sparse short stubble, thus approaching the condition of Tatuidris JTL-001.
