Etymology and habitat

Neocorynura muiscae is named after the Muisca, who inhabited the central highlands of the Colombian Andes (Altiplano Cundiboyacense) where four specimens of the bee have been found at an elevation of 2,850 metres (9,350 ft);[2] in the Santuario de fauna y flora Iguaque, Boyacá.[1][3][4]

Nesting

The nesting structure of Neocorynura muiscae has an entrance of an earthen turret surrounded by an elliptical tumulus. The surfaces of the turrets are not polished but internally smooth. The exterior is rough. Main burrows are vertical in flat ground. Most of the nests have been discovered in the pasture.[5]

gollark: Yes, I found that by looking at the actual source code your server sends.
gollark: "hmm yes I will now pull in ~~jQuery~~ ~~70000 npm packages~~ an entire language VM for something like one line of logic in Vanilla.js"
gollark: This is, some offense, half of what I hate about the modern web, but with Lua somehow?
gollark: ... why do you have an entire in-browser Lua VM for, effectively `history.go(-1)` and, I don't know, one line of stuff to do scrolling?
