Subspecies

Recently, two new subspecies have been described from the headwaters of the Mau�s River, Amazonas (cyanosparius), and the coast of Alagoas and Pernambuco (alagoensis), but the types and paratypes are of captive origin.

jacupemba von Spix, 1825 - Eastern Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and central and southern Brazil.
