Distribution

Native to: Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru

In the western Amazon region in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru at 735(200-1500) m elevation in lowland or montane rainforest. There is geographic discontinuity, and specimens come from three areas, one in Ecuador and adjacent Colombia and Peru, and two in southern Peru. However, there are too few specimens to test for differences. However, it is not known if the gap between populations is an artifact of insufficient collecting.
