Remarks.
This taxon differs from
P. e. episcopalis
by having (1) a stronger columellar fold; (2) a relatively smaller aperture. Piperal is a small village on the road from Bogotá to Villavicencio,
600–700 m
elevation. Gachetá is NE of Bogotá. All localities are on the eastern escarpments of the Cordillera Oriental. The specimen from Antioquia, Frontino is only tentatively referred to this taxon; it is the only record from the Cordillera Central for this species. Although elevations are not given in the labels, an altitudinal range of
450–1800 m
may be inferred from the localities above.
