Distribution records.
The original description recorded the species from Óbidos, State of Pará, northern
Brazil
(
1º54'07''S
,
55º31'10''W
); two other geographic records were reported by
Nogueira & Aguiar (2005)
, from Caxiuanã, also in Pará, at about
460 km
from the
type
locality, and from Uruaçu, state of Goiás, central
Brazil
(
14º17.0'S
48º54.8'W
). Three new records are provided here: one from Reserva Florestal Adolfo Ducke, at Manaus, Amazonas (
3º00'16''S
59º56'37''W
),
Brazil
; one from Kalacoon, Cuyuni-Mazaruni (“Bartica District” on the label),
Guyana
(
6º24'00''N
,
58º39'00''W
); and one from Iwokrama Forest Reserve, Region 8,
Guyana
(
4º40'19''N
58º41'04''W
). Most distribution records, including possibly also Kalacoon, are from dense, well preserved equatorial forests, while Uruaçu is in an area of open, savannah-like vegetation, the Brazilian Cerrado.
