Eurhopalothrix schmidti

This species inhabits moist to wet montane forest. The types were collected as a nest series in Costa Rica's Central Valley, in the early 1900's, at a site that is now near the San José airport and long since developed. All recent collections are from Winkler samples of sifted litter and rotten wood from the forest floor. It is known from 1100–1670 m elevation. In Monteverde, in the Cordillera de Tilarán, it has a sharply parapatric distribution with Eurhopalothrix ortizae and may hybridize there (see Comments under Eurhopalothrix ortizae).
