Distribution : Réponse de James Carpenter sur son statut de présence (non mentionné en Guyane dans Santos et al. (2015) : "The distribution for collombiana given in Santos Junior et al. (2015) is just the type material plus the countries listed in Richards (1978).  I presume the senior author did not see Dejean et al. (2011) – in any case, yes, collombiana does occur in Guyane."
