is known from two localities (Fig. 1), Garganta de la Bella, the highest point (1095 m asl) along the trail inside Tingo Maria NP, and Sharco (1700 m asl), approximately 27 km south of the type locality (by airline). Male specimens CORBIDI 15563-68, 15577-78 were collected at the beginning of the rainy season, calling at night, perched on leaves 2 meters above ground in the primary montane forest. Although bromeliads were present, individuals were not observed using these plants. Other vegetation included trees
