ID or location help on my A. atahualpa

[DaRe]

I have now after months of digging been able to find out the location of my wild cauight Apistogramma atahualpa. According to my findings they should be from Rio Momon:
https://maps.google.se/maps?q=Rio+N...F-8&ei=LDyHUoX5NcST4AT3woC4Cg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg

Can this be correct? Does atahualpa exist in these waters? I believe so but am not sure.

And one of the females:

Ask them ... http://www.riomomon.com/en/aboutus.html ...they know basicly everything about this location.

Thanks, they seem to have them listed as species of the region at least

 

[Amazoniensis]

the species occurs in the Rio Nanay system
(cichlid atlas v.1)

Yes so far it fits rather good.

I've never heard of any collection report of Apistogramma atahualpa being found in the Rio Momon-drainage. I've never found it there, either.

Apistogramma atahualpa is found in extreme blackwater in small streams in the hilly area south-west of Iquitos, between the Rio Nanay and the Rio Itaya. I have collected this species on many occasions the last 8 years...

I have market the actual area yellow here:

Here is a picture taken from north, showing the Rio Momon entering the Rio Nanay, which itself enter the huge Rio Amazonas:
