Zoology. 175. : Pattern 11: primarily semi-humid : Pattern 12: wide lowland distribu- lowlands, reaching SW Amazonia. tion, seasonal habitats, SE and E Brazil, N Argentina, Paraguay. from almost the entire South American continent, not only from rainforest areas but also from dry Chaco environments. In addition, all three species are in need of systematic revision. Nevertheless, 96% of the species found fit more or less accu- rately one of the twelve patterns. In the figures 63-74 not only the patterns are provided but also the percentages of montane forest species exhibiting the respective pattern. The percentages refer to 68 considered species (, 100%). The pattern 1, endemic species in the upper humid montane forests of the Departamentos Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, is rep- resented by 18% of all montane forest species found during this study. This is a remarkable high value. Additional 9% of the species exhibit pattern 2, being dis- tributed in the whole Bolivian Yungas region including the Yungas de La Paz, and another 6%) are considered "La Siberia" endemics (), a region located with- in the upper montane forests of the Departamentos Cochabamba and Santa Cruz. Together, 33% or one third of all recorded species exclusively occur in the humid montane forests of Bolivia. When also including the Chapare endemics (pattern 5; ), 40% can be considered endemic for the humid Bolivian montane forests! Species distributed exclusively in humid forests along the eastern Andean slopes, although not endemic to Bolivia, exhibit the patterns 3 and 4 (). Together, both patterns contain 19% of the montane forest species. Species hav- ing pattern 3 are more restricted to the southern montane forests and their ranges do not extend very far into southern Peru, whereas species having distribution pat- tern 4 also occur at the Andean slopes of central or northern Peru and may also range in peri-Andean lo
