Philander pebas
Voss et al., 2018
TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY:
MVZ
190343, the
holotype
by original designation, consists of the skin, skull, and frozen tissues of an adult male collected at Igarapé Nova Empresa (
6.80° S
,
70.73° W
) on the left bank of the Rio Juruá, Amazonas,
Brazil
.
SYNONYMS: None.
DISTRIBUTION: As currently documented by examined specimens,
Philander pebas
occurs in eastern
Ecuador
(
Orellana
), eastern
Peru
(
Loreto
,
Madre de Dios
,
Ucayali
), and western
Brazil
(
Acre
, Amazonas), but Voss et al. (2018) speculated that the species might range throughout the
várzea
landscapes (seasonally inundated by white-water rivers) of western Amazonia, including those in southeastern
Colombia
, where it is still unknown.
REMARKS: A morphological description, illustrations, comparisons with congeneric species, summary statistics for external and craniodental measurements, and analyses of mtDNA sequence data were provided by Voss et al. (2018).
