- Comment "Distribution: Argentina; Bolivia; Brazil; Colombia; French Guiana; Guyana; Paraguay; Suriname; Uruguay; Venezuela. Classified as ""least concern"" in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, as it is relatively common throughout its range, occupying most habitats and although no precise estimates of population sizes are available, populations are generally considered to be stable. Land crabs form an important component of the diet during the dry season in certain parts of South America."
