REMARK

This species has been described from Surinam, and is poorly known. Two specimens apparently belonging to this species have been identified from Mount Itoupé. The species has already been cited from French Guiana (Haas 2009) on the basis of one specimen supposedly present in the MNHN collection in Paris but not seen.
