Remarks.

U. montana was found on rocky seepages, from 2200-2700 m a.s.l., expanding its altitudinal range. Environmental characterization: Water temperature varied from 21.3-27.6 °C; dissolved oxygen 6.4-7.0 mg.l-1; pH 6; slow flowing; vegetal coverage completely absent (shrub-herbaceous vegetation). The species was found in APASM (Minas Gerais State), extending the geographical records to northernmost. Median altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.26; p = 0.13).

Unknown species. Urubicimbera sp. 1. Locality: APASM. Altitudinal range: 2575-2700 m a.s.l. Significant altitudinal specificity (IndVal: 0.91; p = 0.002).
