Richardson ; eastern slope of Cerro Tacarcuna , Colombia, AMNH 136202 , 136204–136212 , six males, four females, 31 March–16 April 1915 by Anthony and Ball. I did not find AMNH 136202 in the collection .

This locality, noted on the label as eastern Panama, is essentially on the Panama-Colombia border. See Siegel and Olson (2008: 392) for a discussion.
