Habitat:
This species is found from tall wet forests, with or without a closed canopy, to densely vegetated scrubland and pastures, mostly within the páramo and upper montane forest ecosystems throughout its range. The species appears to be abundant in some areas, and might be easily trapped if the right bait is used (González-Chávez 2015). The species is mostly nocturnal, feeding on earthworms, flatworms, and several arthropods, both as larvae and adults (Patterson 2015, Martin and González-Chávez 2016).
Range:
The species is found from the Andes of central and northern Ecuador, the Andes Centrales and Orientales of Colombia, and extreme southwestern Venezuela. In Colombia, it is found from 2,000 to 3,800 m (Alberico et al. 2000, Solari et al. 2013), up to 2,400 m in Venezuela, and from 2,000 to 4,300 m in Ecuador (Patterson 2015).
Conservation:
This species occurs in several protected areas. It was listed as Vulnerable in the Venezuelan Red List (Patterson 2015).
