Description
It is moderately sized, with a mostly moss grey body with patches of white and a more orange shade of the body colour.[4][5]
Distribution
This species is known only from a very small range Molinopampa district in the northern Cordillera Central in the Peruvian Andes where it has been found at a height of 2,400 m above sea level.[3][6]
Habitat
A marshy stream in a pasture of old farmland is the only place where this species was recorded.[3]
