DistributionCosta Rica, Panama

Type locality: “mountains near San Isidro del General, San Jose Province, Costa Rica."  
Reproductionovovivparous. 
TypesHolotype: KU 31997 
Diagnosis 
CommentHabitat: forests, probably fully arboreal, based on similarity to schlegelii

Synonymy: Werman, 1984 concluded that “supraciliaris does not represent a distinguishable species or subspecies, based on external morphology. The lack of any clear morphological distinction indicates that specimens previously assigned to supraciliaris are individuals of schlegelii with anomalous characteristics.”
