One of us (JV) interviewed coffee plantation workers in Huila, who report that they routinely kill these vipers when found. During a 10-night expedition to Huila department, a group of three field biologists led by JV failed to find a single specimen in four of the localities where the species has been reported nearby the city Pitalito.
