Type.

Notes.

Giraldo-Cañas et al. (2016) cite this species based on the species Agrostis tenuis L. being recorded for Colombia by Hafliger and Scholz (1981). However, A. tenuis is a synonym of A. capillaris , and no specimens have been verified by us from either Departamento Boyacá or Colombia in general.
