Range Description

Learn more about this article

Widespread across Central America with disjunct populations in Colombia, Equador and Venezuela. The disjunct known localities could indicate that this species occurs in areas of north-west South America (Colombia, Equador, Venezuela) where it has not yet been seen. The EOO calculated on the herbarium collections data is 3,323,940 km2 and may well be larger than this.
