Marmosa
(
Eomarmosa
)
rubra
Tate, 1931
TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY:
AMNH
71973, the
holotype
by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of an adult female collected at the mouth of the Río Curaray (ca.
2.37° S
,
74.08° W
; ca.
200 m
),
Loreto
,
Peru
.
Tate (1931
,
1933
) thought that the type was collected in
Ecuador
, but “Boca Río Curaray” (as this locality was originally recorded by the collectors) is well within the internationally recognized borders of
Peru
(
Wiley, 2010
).
SYNONYMS: None.
DISTRIBUTION:
Marmosa rubra
is known from just a few localities in the Amazonian lowlands of southeastern
Colombia
(
Putumayo
), eastern
Ecuador
(
Napo
,
Orellana
,
Pastaza
, and
Sucumbios
), and eastern
Peru
(
Loreto
, and
Madre de Dios
) (
Rossi et al., 2010
: fig. 30). Additional Peruvian records were summarized by
Pacheco et al. (2020)
.
