General Info
Distribution Area
It is found in the Guianas, southern Venezuela and the northwestern Amazon Basin. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. The range in northern South America is the coastal Guianan region extending into coastal northeastern Brazil, the extreme north of Amapá state. The range extends westward, and inland from Guyana into southeast Venezuela, eastern Colombia and then extends southeasterly down the Rio Negro river corridor to the Amazon River confluence and then the confluence of the Madeira River; it also extends upstream on the Amazon River 250 km to the Purus River confluence. In the Amazon Basin, the North Region, Brazil, the species is in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, and very southern Roraima. Disjunct localized populations are in northern Peru along river headwaters, (the confluence region of the Ucayali River).
