Habitat:
The species is poorly known. It has been caught in mist nets set over streams through tall, lowland evergreen forests in Panama and in nets across elfin forests on an exposed ridge of the Continental Divide in Costa Rica (Reid 2009).

Range:
This species is restricted to Panama and Costa Rica (Dinerstein 1985, Reid 2009), with one record from the Central Amazonia of Brazil (Sampaio et al. 2003). A record from French Guiana was subsequently reidentified as L. atratus (Handley 1996), and those from Colombia are not verified (Solari et al. 2013).

Conservation:
The species is found in protected areas in Panama. Research actions are needed into the distribution, habitat, ecology, and threats to this species.
