Material. Antioquia, Frontino, Corregimiento Nutibara, at a cave, 12.vii.1987 (ICNB n.c); Yarumal, Ventanas, Niceforo Maria leg., 1963 (MLS-BOG 21); Valdivia, 4500 ft. [-1370 m] on Cordillera Oriental, M.A. Carriker jr. leg., 1948 (USNM 590650). Cundinamarca?, Bogota (NHMUK, holotype).
Ecology. Precise records for this species are located in Northwestern Andean and Cauca Valley montane forests ecoregions. The actual habitat is unknown.
Remarks. These are the first precise localities published for this species. It is unclear if the type locality may be trusted (see general remarks on quality of localities in B0RRER0 & BREURE 2011: 3). The record from "Piperal" (MCZ 136471) in LINARES & VERA (2012) has proven to be Drymaeus cf. volsus Fulton, 1907 (see below). There is some variability in this species as the specimens from Valdivia and Yarumal differ in having a broader and less elongated aperture, slightly more convex whorls and a slightly different colour pattern, consisting of broad, axial, reddish-brown stripes; on the body whorl these are present leaving a broad white band below the suture, and around the insertion of the columellar lip. The specimen from Frontino is very worn, and also has broad axial colour stripes. We refrain, however, from giving subspecific status to these specimens.
