Tatuidris is rare but broadly distributed.
The ants inhabit the leaf litter of Neotropical forests in Central and South America, from Mexico to French Guiana,  central Brazil, and Amazonian Peru.
No collections are known from the Caribbean, Galápagos, or other islands.
Most specimens and collections are currently known to occur in localities west of the Andes, with more collections tending to occur towards Central America and Mexico.
Most collections come from mountainside (pre-montane) areas at mid elevations (usually 800–1200 meters of altitude).
Collections from the lowland Amazon rainforest are few.
Published records are few, but with the advent of litter sifting and Winkler extraction as a popular method of ant collecting, Tatuidris are not as rare as they used to seem.
Although not very abundant, with frequent litter sifting they can be reliably found in Costa Rican wet forests.
