Remarks:
A record from Venezuela needs confirmation (Campbell & Lamar 2004).
Reported to occur in Bolivia (Campbell & Lamar 2004; Pincheira-Donoso 2002), however, it has not yet been collected in the country, although it may prove to be
present (Harvey, Aparicio & Gonzales 2005).
Nevertheless, its occurrence in Bolivia has been repeated (e.g., Bernarde, Amaral & Vale 2011; Oliveira, Araújo, Prudente, Fraga, Almeida & Ascenso 2018), but none
of these authors plotted any Bolivian localities in their respective maps or mentioned any localities.
Distribution:
