This South American species is distributed in Brazil and French Guiana, in the northernmost part of the Amazon basin and easternmost part of the Guiana shield.
The species might also occur in Suriname.
Rhinatrema bivittatum was previously thought to occur also in Guyana, but all the specimens from that country have been referred to another species: R. shiv.
