Altitudinal range.
This is a high-altitude taxon, occurring at
2900–4000 m
.
Remarks.
This subspecies was originally described from high altitudes (páramo south of Bogotá,
3800–4000 m
). The new record from Laguna La Guitarra is at a lower altitude than the
type
locality, but is nearby. The record from El Soche (E of Bogotá) is the lowest altitude known for this taxon.
