Distribution
Distribution and habitat.Alopoglossus angulatus is endemic to, and widespread in, Amazonia, occurring in Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru (Fig. 1). Hoogmoed (1973) also reported it from French Guiana, and Langstroth (2005) from Bolivia. In Brazil, it is known from the states of Amapá, Pará, Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, and Mato Grosso. Alopoglossus angulatus is terrestrial and diurnal, inhabits primary terra firme and flooded (varzea) forest, as well as disturbed forest (Martins 1991b; Ribeiro-Júnior et al. 2008; Vitt et al. 2008; Pantoja & Fraga 2012), where it is mainly found in shaded spots among leaf litter near water, and occasionally on open ground or in water (Martins 1991b; Vitt et al. 2007, 2008). MAR-J collected two individuals on logs floating in the water (Afuá, Rio Preto, northwestern Marajó Island, Brazil) and one in an Eucalyptus plantation (Almeirim, northern state of Pará, Brazil).
