Distribution and habitat. Stenocercus fimbriatus is endemic to southwestern Amazonia, restricted to the upper Amazon basin, in both sides of Ucayali, Amazon/Marañon, Javari and Juruá Rivers, and on the left side of the Madre de Dios River, occurring in Brazil and Peru ( Fig. 19 View FIGURE 19 ). In Brazil it is known from the states of Amazonas and Acre. Stenocercus fimbriatus is predominantly terrestrial and diurnal, inhabits terra firme forest, preferring sunny spots as edges of clearings, where it is found more often on the ground, but also on fallen trees, and on buttresses, trunks and branches of trees ( Dixon & Soini 1975; 1986; Ávila-Pires 1995).
