Remarks.

Morelet remarked that this taxon occurs in the lower part of 'puna brava’, i.e. at high elevations. The type locality is thus at the slopes of Nevado Salcantay and near Soray, which is at ca. 4100 m elevation in Dept. Cuzco, to which the type locality is now restricted.

Current systematic position.
