About

Los machos se reuman en leks, asambleas de canto comunales, donde realizan exhibiciones vocales para atraer a las hembras. Siguen rutas de trampa lineal a traves de la espesa vegetacion del sotobosque forestal. Son importantes polinizadores de las grandes flores de Heliconia en la selva tropical lluviosa.
