COMMENT: At relatively low elevations, the Diglossa fauna of the eastern slopes of this mountain is quite reminiscent of the southern part of the Western Cordillera. I.E the Diglossa population as a whole is comparatively very sparse; and only Cy and Albi are at all common. These two species seem to be the only (non commensal Diglossini which can withstand extreme humidity at comparatively low elevations with considerable success.
