Habitat/Ecology. It is not clearly understood from information on the original ZRC specimen label what type of habitat this species was associated with. A ‘flood plain’ is technically defined as an area of low-lying ground adjacent to a river or stream, formed largely of silt and sediment and subject to flooding. However, there were no known major water bodies within said university campus grounds at the time of specimen collection. The most we can infer from locality data is that the species was possibly found in a disturbed secondary forest fragment in an urban setting/matrix .
