Odontophorus gujanensis is restricted to the Neotropics. It has a disjunct range, and eight recognised subspecies. Subspecies
castigatus is likely to have been extirpated from
Panama, and is now found only in a restricted area of
Costa Rica. Subspecies
marmoratus ranges from east Panama, where it can be locally common away from human settlements, to north
Colombia and north-west
Venezuela. The nominate subspecies
gujanensis is uncommon in south-east Venezuela; from there its range spreads east through
Guyana to
Suriname and
French Guiana (it is frequent in both of these countries), and south through parts of
Brazil to extreme northern
Paraguay (del Hoyo
et al. 1994, Restall
et al. 2006). Subspecies
medius occurs in south Venezuela and north-west Brazil. Subspecies
buckleyi occurs at the base of Colombia's east Andes, in east
Ecuador and in north
Peru. Subspecies
rufogularis is endemic to north-east Peru. Subspecies
pachyrhynchus is known from east Peru, where it is common, and may also occur in west Bolivia. Subspecies
simonsi is endemic to east
Bolivia (del Hoyo
et al. 1994).
