Georef. RemarksThe locality is too vague since is not stated the river where the specimens were collected. There are several small tributaries to the Rio Esmaraldas and the Rio Napo near Quito. I plotted the locality in one of those with an uncertainty embracing the surroundings of the city as an approximate.
