Marmosa
(
Micoureus
)
regina
Thomas, 1898
VOUCHER MATERIAL:
Waqanki
:
1 adult
male (
FMNH 203510
)
; see table 1 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION: The systematics and taxonomy of this subgenus is still confused and future taxonomic changes will probably be necessary due
to the high molecular diversity in this group (e.g.,
de la Sancha et al., 2011
). We consulted the descriptions and measurements of
Marmosa
(
Micoureus
)
regina
provided by
Hice and Velazco (2012)
,
Patton et al. (2000)
, and
Voss and Jansa (2009)
. Our single specimen conforms in all respects to the morphology previously described for
Marmosa regina
(e.g., dense but short fur, base of the tail covered with fur [<
20 mm
], palatine fenestrae absent).
REMARKS: Our single specimen was caught in a Victor rat trap in a forest.
