Distribution
Type locality is ‘RÃo Meta, Colombia’, and this species is apparently endemic to that drainage although precise locality details are scarce.
There appears to exist evidence to suggest that the type locality is situated in the RÃo Manacacias basin, Meta Department, near the municipality of Puerto Gaitan.
The Meta flows through Colombia, forming the border with Venezuela in its lower reaches before flowing into the RÃo Orinoco at Puerto Carreño.
