DISTRIBUTION: Coendou roosmalenorum occurs on both banks of the Rio Madeira in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Rondônia. Although specimens have only been collected at three localities (Voss and da Silva, 2001), photographs of a small porcupine closely resembling this species were taken in 1992 on the south bank of the Amazon near Alvarães (13°13′ S, 64°48′W), about 500 km NW of the type locality (Franz Kern, personal commun., 2011) GoogleMaps .
