Umit and others,
Here's a little more from my notes from that 1913 Bulletin Scientifique de la France et de la Belgique p 341:
Hyalinia stolli von Mart. was found at "La Estrella, 2.000 metres"
I thought then that the genus (please note I accidentally missed the penultimate "i" in my first posting) had been synonymized under Oxychilus by Thiele.
The author (Picado-Twight) singled out Drymaeus attenuatus Pfr. as being very abundant in the bromeliads.
In addition to the 3 species I mentioned, "Guppya sp. from Orosi, 1.200 metres" was also listed.

Excuse me, Could this Hyalin(i)a stolli be Drepanostomella stolli, in current
classification? I think Hyalina/Hyalinia is no longer valid. Is this correct?
Personally, as a man havent ever seen a bromeliad myself, I guess the
interaction would be with hygrophile arboreal snails, possibly not very
intense (not kalk, and algae but water inside). But estimates can just be
misleading, considering how different bizarre adaptations can be seen in
bromeliad faunas.
