Type locality: “ Bosque nublado 10 km SSE de Tovar , 2,718 m , Estado Mérida , Venezuela .” Distribution: Region 1. Initially thought restricted to the type locality, but photographs of a specimen shown to T.R. Kahn by E. La Marca in 2007 indicated a population exists outside type locality. The type locality was destroyed by a landslide (pers. comm., T.R. Kahn from E. La Marca). Further work is required to determine if this disjunct population is extant. Remarks: Not seen in the type locality since 1990; possibly extinct at the type locality, but also possibly extant at a disjunct valley not far from the type locality.
