UPDATED DISTRIBUTION. — Brazil ( Amapá , Pará, Rondônia , Roraima ), French Guiana , Venezuela . REMARKS The record of this species from Rio de Janeiro listed by Ozerov (2005) is considered erroneous. Silva (1991) recorded the species from Roraima , a record that was not cited by Ozerov (2005) , but not from Rio de Janeiro . Obviously, Ozerov (2005) mixed up both Brazilian provinces. New to French Guiana .
