The altitude of the type locality is about 1,100 meters above sea level and the average annual precipitation in the area is 200 mm. At the moment of sampling the surface area of the pond was about 55 meters long and 25 meters wide, the water had an average depth of 50 cm and 80 cm at its deepest point.
