Hah. Western Ecuador. 



The original specimen of this species, now unfortunately lost, is 

 said to have been obtained at Realejo in Xicaragua, but all the 

 specimens I have seen with authentically determined localities are 

 from Ecuador. The ne.xt .species is, I suspect, its more northern 

 representative.
