GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES. 



Brazil is evidently the home of the members of this genus and 

 they have a wide distribution over its territory, with representatives on 

 the west in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. In the north on 

 the right bank of the Orinoco near the Mission of Santa Barbara, C. 

 torquatus is found and its range is extended in the forests watered 

 by the Rios Cassiquiare, Guaviare, Negro and Solimoens, going, accord-

 the Upper Amazon in the forests of Olivenga near the Rio Solimoens
