IDENTIFICATION: Our voucher material conforms closely to most published descriptions of this widespread and distinctive species (e.g., Thomas, 1888; Cabrera, 1919; Krumbiegel, 1940a; Augustiny, 1942; Mondolfi and Medina, 1957; Husson, 1978; Marshall, 1978b; Emmons, 1990, 1997), but a few discrepancies and supplementary observations merit comment.

are probably based on old (faded or stained) museum skins; living animals and fresh skins have clear blackandgray dorsal markings and pure white venters, with no trace of other hues. According to Cabrera (1919), the digits of the manus are webbed to the ends of the first phalanges, but our specimens (and those illustrated by Augustiny [1942: fig. 14] and Mondolfi and Medina [1957: fig. 1]) have unwebbed manual digits. The ‘‘supernumerary facial bristles’’ mentioned by Marshall (1978b) are the usual superciliary, genal, and interramal vibrissae (Brown, 1971), which are well developed (Augustiny, 1942: fig. 11) but otherwise unremarkable in

Apparently, the only postcranial vibrissae in this species consist of a prominent tuft of long carpal hairs at the wrist.

was based on Buffon’s (1776) description of the ‘‘petite loutre d’eau douce de Cayenne’’, so our specimens are practically topotypes. Krumbiegel (1940a) and Marshall (1978b) both recognized four subspecies, but the necessity for a trinomial nomenclature for water opossums has yet to be demonstrat ed by any substantive analysis of character data. In the event that any subspecific distinctions are warranted, the Paracou population would obviously be referable to the nominate form.

FIELD OBSERVATIONS: Water opossums were commonly seen in all of the four named stream systems that have their headwaters in our study area; even the smallest and shallowest creeks were frequented (fig. 9). Because this species has bright eyeshine, is boldly marked, and splashes noisily while swimming or wading, it is not difficult to observe despite its nocturnal habits. Nevertheless, the occurrence of

Most freeranging individuals alarmed by our presence quickly swam away, but two animals left the water and disappeared in dense streamside vegetation, and another entered a burrow near the water’s edge. With the exception of a pair of animals apparently engaged in an aggressive interaction, all of our sightings were of solitary individuals.</paragraph>
