Corydoras bondi & C. osteocarus not in Suriname

Hi,
the distribution given in the DB here seems to be wrong.
AFAIK there are no confirmed populations in Suriname, the Corantijne river species are C. sipaliwini which was in the past considered to be a synonym of C. bondi. Likewise, I'm also quite sure that the populations of Marowijne are in fact a similar looking species but not C. bondi.
In Coppename river there should only be C. coppenamensis, the former subspecies.
The same holds for C. osteocarus, there is to my knowledge no known occurence in Surinam. C. breei (Kabalebo river) was previously identified as Suriname population of C. osteocarus. This has been corrected with the description of C. breei.
In latest checklist of Suriname (Mol et. al 2012) there is also no report of C. bondi or C. osteocarus in Suriname.
Cheers,
