Found in the Orinoco River basin (Ref. 38248). Known from two specimens collected in 1989 from Caño Cuchakén, a tributary of the Río Atabapo and a single specimen sampled in 2002 from a tributary of the Río Ventuari. These records represent a significant expansion of the range of the species, originally described from the Essequibo River at Rockstone, Guyana (Ref. 52916). |
