Distribution: Chiapas and Yucatan Peninsula (S Mexico) to S Bolivia, N Argentina, and SE Brazil. Introduced into W and E Cuba and the Cayman Isls.

Conservation: CITES – Appendix III ( Honduras); IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Includes variegata ( Goldman, 1913:11); but also see Handley (1976:56) and Emmons and Feer (1997:227) who listed variegata as a distinct species. Hall (1981) recognized 11 subspecies in Central America and Cabrera (1961) recognaized 8 subspecies in South America, however, a comprehensive evaluation of geographic variation is needed. Karyotype of variegata reported as 2n=64 and FN=124 ( George and Weir, 1974).
