P. harrisonfordi lives in the Americas, mostly in neotropical countries such as Belize, Colombia, southern Mexico, Panama, Guatemala and other Central American nations. It primary lives in Santa Bárbara, Honduras 700 metres (2,300 ft) above sea level.[1] The ant also inhabits wet forest leaf litter at an elevation of 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) above sea-level. P. harrisonfordi was named after the actor Harrison Ford in honor of his work in tropical conservation.[2] Minor workers have a head length of 0.41 millimetres (0.016 in) and a head width of 0.38 millimetres (0.015 in).
