  • There is very little known about the genus, Josh Milburn. These are endemic to a small part of the Andes mountains in Colombia. I think it is important for an encyclopaedia to show the World what rare animals look like. If people see the photo, who knows, some young researcher might be encouraged to investigate. FP status might help this. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:10, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
