Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology: This species has been collected in an area now dominated by pine forest and grassland or brushy secondary growth, and from cultivated land surrounded by a lower montane to midmontane transitional tropical moist forest dominated by oaks (Wallach et al. 2007). The species is fossorial or semi-fossorial, and was probably collected by chance in agricultural areas where the ground had been disturbed (Wallach et al. 2007). Although it might be able to persist in these modified habitats, it is likely to have an original habitat of montane tropical moist forest, and it is possible that both known specimens were washed down from higher mountains during heavy rains (Wallach et al. 2007).
Systems: Terrestrial
