Natural History

I have collected this species twice. Both collections are from the upper Penas Blancas Valley east of Monteverde, in montane wet forest. Both are from Winkler samples of sifted litter from the forest floor. One collection was from "El Aleman" at 900m elevation, and the other from Casa Eladio at 800m elevation.
