Giving their name also as gliding ants.[1][2] The species is native of Mexico, especially of the states of Jalisco, Nayarit and Sinaloa.[3] Their larger and flatter legs, a trait common with other members of the genus Cephalotes, gives them their gliding abilities.[4] The species was first given a description and a classification in 1934 by British entomologist George Wheeler.
