Range and habitat edit

Scientists have seen it between 1,280 and 2,550 meters above sea level in the southern Sierra Madre Occidental from Durango to Nayarit states, the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt of Michoacán, Morelos, Guerrero, and Mexico states, and the northern Sierra Madre del Sur of Jalisco and Michoacán states.[2][3][1]

This species is found along mountain streams in humid montane pine-oak, pine, and pine-fir forests, where it dwells in streamside vegetation.[2]
