All I can say is that it is a Brazilian form (more slender body, more distinct lateral band, fewer blue markings on the head). Without a known collecting location I cannot say where this fish originated. Besides specimens from the Rio Tefe/Bauana, I have photos of similar fish from Rio Manacapuru, Manaciri, & Careiro (Amazon near Manaus), Rio Januari (lower Rio Negro), Autezas/Rio Mamori (near mouth of Rio Madeira), and Curuaí (near Obidos).
