Generally local and uncommon, chiansiades is found
in deep forests throughout the Amazon basin. The subspecies listed
here have been considered by many to be full species, but are so poorly
known at the moment that nothing can be said for certain. I follow the
nomenclature of Tyler, Brown et.al. The nominate race shown above is found
throughout much of the western Amazon.
dospassossi
- Putomayo River basin, very few specimens known (perhaps only the type
specimen?)
maroni
- Guianas and NE Amazon. rare, perhaps threatened
mossi
