(Thomas, 1900)
VOUCHER MATERIAL:
Tingana
:
1 adult
female (
FMNH 203324
),
2 juvenile
males (
FMNH 203326
;
MUSM 39248
)
; see table 2 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION: We follow
Díaz-Nieto et al. (2011)
and Díaz-Nieto et al. (2016) in recognizing
M. caucae
as a species distinct from
M. impavidus
. Our specimens conform in all respects to the morphology and measurements described by
Díaz-Nieto et al. (2011)
for
M. caucae
(e.g., interdigital pad 4 and hypothenar pad of hind foot in contact, two antebrachial vibrissae, palatine fenestrae present, subsquamosal foramen constricted anteroposteriorly, absence of accessory cusps on the upper canine).
REMARKS: The adult female was caught in a Victor rat trap in an agricultural field. The
two adult
males were caught in Victor rat traps in a
renacal
(flooded forest of
Coussapoa trinervia
).
