Description. Male postabdomen: Sternite 5 as described for the species group. Surstylus with medial ridge thin, curved around anterodorsal corner, slightly projecting, ventral tooth broad, anteroventral corner right-angled ( Fig. 146 View FIGURES 145–154 ). Pregonite indistinct, fully fused with postgonite. Postgonite with lobes barely separated, anterior lobe short, rounded, posterior lobe pointed, long, with a tooth projecting from anterior edge. Basiphallus narrow, with long epiphallus and preepiphallus. Distiphallus with broad, flattened, setose dorsal knob ( Fig. 145 View FIGURES 145–154 ).
Female postabdomen: Tergites 6–7 and sternites 6–7 wider than long, moderately sclerotized, covered with microtomentum. Tergites with 3 posterior strips, sternites with 2 posterior strips. Tergite 8 shiny, widest anteriorly, strongly pinched medially, anterior and posterior margins emarginated medially, anterior corners nearly meeting sternite 8 laterally. Epiproct with short, broad anterior arms, covered with microtomentum except arms, with 2 pairs of setae and a medial unpaired seta ( Fig. 147 View FIGURES 145–154 ). Cerci narrow. Sclerites of sternite 8 narrow anteriorly, becoming gradually wider posteriorly, microtomentum covering posterior quarter, apices pointed, without hooks. Hypoproct depressed antero-medially ( Fig. 148 View FIGURES 145–154 ).

Comments. The species name refers to the apparent ecological versatility of this species, which occurs from just over 1000 m to 4000 m elevation. No other Andean archiborborine is known to have such a broad elevational distribution.
