Distribution
Jayawijaya Reg. (Jiwika, Poga). Elevation: 1875–2330 m.
Biology
Sifted from leaf litter in montane forest.
Etymology
This epithet is a noun in apposition. Kurulu, who lived near Jiwika, was a famous Dani leader in the 1960´s. The district around Jiwika bears his name today. The species´ name refers both to the type locality and is a reference to the disappearing culture of the indigenous people of this area.
