Have you checked the species page in the cat-elog it will at least give to the location from where the original described fish were collected and then a little trip into google maps will tell you if the rivers you are looking at are in the same area.

The atabapo and ventuari are both connected to the orinoco
river and in the e-log it says metae come from the orinoco
I just wanted to know a bit more specific

According to the capture records I could find of museum specimens, this species appears restricted to the Río Meta subdrainage.
