Ecuador
(see Musser et al., 1998:Fig. 50); about sea level to
1800 m
.
Conservation:
IUCN
– Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion:
Names conventionally applied to this species include
bombycinus
, as reviewed by Pine (1971), and
rivularis
, as discussed by
Gardner and Patton (1976)
. Priority of
bolivaris
established by Musser et al. (1998), who summarized the morphological variation, geographic distribution, and synonymy of the species. Pine (1971) retained subspecies (under the name
bombycinus
), but Musser et al. (1998) judged intraspecific variation too insubstantial to circumscribe geographic races.
