NOTES

To elaborate our model we removed uncertain localities such as those localities with no coordinates and all records with coordinates laying down in sites with estimated elevations below 2,100 m and above 4,100 m.

The habitat suitability model generated in Maxent showed some areas suitable in climatic terms for this species in the southern half of the Eastern Andes. Those areas are not known to be occupied by this species and were deleted from our final potential distribution map.

We have portrayed in our maps the distribution of the nominate subspecies as continuous since all Central Andes has Suitable areas climatically for the species. Nevertheless, there is a belt of areas in the central south portion of the cordillera from where there are no known records of the species.

Collections suggest the presence of subspecies primolina in south Nariño, we extended the distribution further north. However, there are no specimens in collection confirming that sightings from those areas are in fact subspecies primolina.

Sensu stricto, subspecies recisa is known from Frontino, there are no more specimens in collection confirming if it is further south. However, we are assuming sightings south to Tatama are this subspecies.

Assuming that the distribution of the species may have filled the complete climatic model generated, its distribution today in remnants of forest is about 10,008 km2, which corresponds to a loss of 67 % of its potential original distribution due to deforestation. This proportion may be slightly overestimated since in some areas of its distribution this species includes Paramo.
