The Peruvian Antwarbler is found in most of the western Amazon Basin, west of the lower rio Negro and the rio Madeira. See the distribution map at xeno-canto. It is found in forest borders and secondary woodland often near water or marshes. It gleans in foliage and often picks its prey from the underside of leaves.
