Biology. This species occurs in lowland rainforest leaf litter. It is still known only from the type locality and vicinity, where it is extremely rare. At La Selva Biological Station it is known from six Winkler samples of sifted litter (less than 1 % of similar samples), each with one to three individuals. An additional specimen was collected at 500 m elevation on the slopes of Volcan Barva above La Selva.
