Habitat:
Barnett (1992) studied this species in southern Ecuador. Analysis of stomach contents demonstrated that it feeds on invertebrates including beetles, spiders, and caterpillars. It was found in habitats with closed, continuous vegetation at elevation. A litter size of two, and two litters per year, were inferred from the trapping data.
Range:
This species occurs in the Andean zone of central and southern Ecuador (Hutterer 2005). It occurs in the provinces of Chimborazo, Azuay and Loja, in Ecuador, at elevations between 2,500 and 3,800 m (Woodman and Péfaur 2008).
Conservation:
It is found in several protected areas (D. Tirira pers. comm.).
