but as discussed later in this work this color distinction disregarded all other morphological evidence. The set of characters here presented and the locality records located in a continuous region along the lowlands contiguous to the Andes on the Amazon Basin of Peru and Ecuador justify the validity of the species. A neotype is here designated in order to validate the status of the species as described by
