is here considered of critically endangered (CR) based on only a few known occurrence points near Chancay in the San Marcos province, Department of Cajamarca, Peru, with AOO of 4 km2. The species appears to have specialist habitat requirements, preferring north-facing shady cliff sides. The known populations are both small, and vulnerable to grazing pressures.
