In 2016 it was split into two species, eastern striolated puffbird (which retained the original scientific name Nystalus striolatus) and the western striolated puffbird (Nystalus obamai)[2][3]
The western species lives Bolivia, western Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. The eastern species is found only in Amazonian Brazil.[4]
Its natural habitat is subtropical and tropical moist lowland forests.
