Altitudinal range.
The Colombian records comprise elevations at or below
400 m
.
The Ecuadorian localities reported in
Breure and Borrero (2008)
from the Provinces of Napo, Orellana and Pastaza range from approximately
240 to 600 m
in elevation.
Remarks.
These are the first records of this species in
Colombia
, which we previously interpreted as an Ecuadorian species. The new Colombian localities are consistent with those from
Ecuador
, suggesting a distribution in the eastern Amazonian lowlands of both countries.
