WWF Wildfinder map.....looks like distinct populations. If my eyes are right it looks like the northern population goes right into Peru.

Upon further review, I believe the isolated northern range is that of Barbours anaconda, the Barbours anaocnda range map is the only one that won`t show up. I believe it showed up on the yellow anaconda range map through a program error. The lower range is that of E notaeus.

I can´t see the details of the map, but it does look like the range covers the Rio de la Plata including Uruguay, and also Buenos Aires province south of it.
Completely wrong if that is the case.They rarely reach northern Uruguay and not south of that.
Can you give me the link to the map so we can check details?
thanks,
David

Here you go Dave.....I noticed ranges for species whose ranges I am more familiar with are inaccurate.

I would definitely agree with David in that E. notaeus is not typically found within Uruguay, and has only been found in the extreme northwest border region of Uruguay where it has a common border with Brazil and Argentina. Definitely not found as far south as Buenos Aires. The most southern range extent of E. notaeus appears to be around the Parana River floodplain and wetlands area just south of Santa Fe, Argentina. This site appeared to be a little liberal with many of their range maps.
