MATERIAL AND METHODS
Data were obtained from field records of several expeditions to areas in Pará and Amapá state, Brazil (Table 1). Records were made in localities of terra firme rainforests within the Guiana Shield region, characterized by closed canopy and dense understory vegetation. One population was recorded in a native savanna forest (population I, table 1) in Amapá state. Another population (population L, table 1) in Pará state was recorded in a riparian forest with sandy and rocky soil bordering a stream drainage in a rainforest with vegetation that combines transition elements of Amazonian savannas. The dorsal color patterns of specimens (collected or not) were described using photographs. Although the description based on color photographs should be done with caution, the researchers made an in-field evaluation to assure that colors in photography do not appear distinct from the real. Each locality was georeferenced to produce a map showing the spatial distribution of color patterns. The color described is referred to the variation in color of the vermiculate dorsal pattern on the dark background. The maps showing the color pattern distribution were made using the software Quantum Gis version 3.24.1, all coordinates were projected as Datum WGS 84.
