IDENTIFICATION: We consulted the descriptions and measurements of Marmosops bishopi provided by Hice and Velazco (2012) , Gardner and Creighton (2008) , Voss et al. (2001) , Díaz- Nieto (2012), Díaz-Nieto et al. (2016), and Díaz- Nieto and Voss (2016). Our specimens conform in all respects to previous descriptions of Marmosops bishopi . They have a continuous band of self-colored ventral white hairs, bladelike lateral carpal tubercles, single posterior accessory cusps on the upper canines (anterior accessory cusp absent), and absence of palatal vacuities, all of which are diagnostic characteristics for this species according to Díaz-Nieto and Voss (2016) . REMARKS: Both specimens were caught in Victor rat traps in an ecotone between banana/ coffee plantations and secondary forest.
