Fernan Peres do Paramo was a medieval Galician clergyman. This contrasts with the higher-altitude paramo habitats of the other two "Niceforonia" species. In some high-altitude paramo areas, the plants are prostrate and form small lawns. The paramo pipit ("Anthus bogotensis") is a species of bird in the family Motacillidae. A few grow as scattered shrubs in paramo. The paramo Oldfield mouse ("Thomasomys paramorum") is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae. The flight then struck Mount Paramo Frontino at 12,300' (3,749 m). The paramo seedeater ("Catamenia homochroa") is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. The Paramo hocicudo ("Oxymycterus paramensis") is a species of rodent in the family Cricetidae.
