DISTRIBUTION: Coendou roosmalenorum occurs on both banks of the Rio Madeira in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Rondônia. Although specimens have only been collected at three localities ( Voss and da Silva, 2001), photographs of a small porcupine closely resembling this species were taken in 1992 on the south bank of the Amazon near Alvarães ( 13°13′ S, 64°48′W), about 500 km NW of the type locality (Franz Kern, personal commun., 2011) GoogleMaps .
