Discussion.
This species was reported by
Zúñiga & Stark (2002)
from several localities in the Andinum region in
Cauca
,
Valle del Cauca
and
Risaralda
in the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central. This series expands the records to
Risaralda
, mainly to protected areas in the headwater and middle Río Otún basin. The specimen from
Caldas
is the first record for this Department. This third order stream, is a part of the
Cauca
River middle basin. It is about
12-15 m
wide and
0.5-0.8 m
deep with substrate composed of boulders, patches of gravel and sands, riffle zones and high slope. The discharge was 727 l/s, the water is oligotrophic in good ecological condition with incipient organic pollution (
7.9 mg
/l
O
2
, 12°
C). The sparse riparian vegetation consists primarily of shrubs and grasses. The zone receives
2115 mm
mean annual rainfall and the air temperature was 18°C at the time of collection. The specimen was collected during the wet season.
