. We sighted the new species in systematic census only at Usina Trapiche, where submontane remnants of Dense Tropical Rainforests are preserved on hilltops that are not suitable for agriculture. These remnants are highly threatened by selective cutting, intentional fires, presence of domestic animals, and most importantly, hunting. Patrolling of the remnants is highly limited and we regularly encountered hunters, heard shots and found hunting devices and suspended hunting platforms in the trails and within the forest.

Out of 38 medium- and large-sized mammal species formerly occurring in the study area, only 53.8% (n=21) were sighted or camera-trapped. According to them, no fragment hosted the entire remaining mammal community, and only four species (19%) occurred in very small fragments (≤10 ha, which sums ~70% of what remains); the mammalian community was highly simplified, with all large mammals being regionally extinct. There was no nestedness regarding area of the fragment or degree of isolation, which implied that the occurrence of a mammal species in a given forest patch varied unpredictably, and that in this ongoing process of mass extinction the 21st century medium-sized remaining mammalian fauna will soon be extinct if strict conservation measures are not implemented (Gadelha 2009; Melo 2009).
