Distribution and Habitat.
The nominal subspecies,
C. v. villosum
, is known from the tropical region of cis-Andean South America. The taxon has been recorded in
Colombia
,
Venezuela
,
Trinidad and Tobago
,
Guyana
,
Suriname
, French Guiana,
Brazil
,
Ecuador
,
Perú
, and
Bolivia
(
Fig. 28
). The southern limit of the subspecies is in the Brazilian state of Paraná (not mapped;
Reis
et al.
1998
).
The subspecies occurs in a wide variety of environments, including humid and seasonal forests (e.g. Amazonia, Atlantic rainforest), flooded plains (e.g. Pantanal, Llanos), and dry formations (e.g. Caatinga, Cerrado) (

;
Gregorin
et al.
2008
;
Luz
et al.
2011
;
Fischer
et al.
2015
).
C. v. villosum
apparently tolerates some habitat disturbance, as it occurs in small forest fragments and urban areas (
Nogueira & Peracchi 2003
;
Ferreira
et al.
2010
;
Nunes
et al.
2017
).
Chiroderma villosum villosum
occurs from sea level to approximately
1,000 m
. In
Venezuela
, 99% of the specimens of
C. v. villosum
were captured below
500 m
(
Handley 1976
). In the Peruvian Amazonia (Madre de Dios), the species was recorded between 340 and
950 m
(
Solari
et al.
2006
).
