Pseudalopex culpaeus (Molina) View in CoL

SPECIMENS COLLECTED: None.

OTHER MATERIAL: I examined a single specimen (AMNH 66739) collected at 4145 m elevation on Cerro Antisana by G.H.H. Tate in 1923. Another specimen (MNCN 3652), which I have not seen, was collected on Antisana by M. Jiménez de la Espada in 1865 (J. Barreiro, personal commun.).

TAXONOMY: There has been no comprehensive revision of the wolflike canid taxa currently referred to this species. According to Lönnberg (1922) and Cabrera (1958) the local form is reissii Hilzheimer (1906), which was originally described from material collected on Volcán Cotopaxi (0°40'S, 78°26'W).

REMARKS: According to Emerson and Johnson (1960) and Black (1982), Pseudalopex culpaeus is common in the páramo landscapes surrounding Cerro Antisana.
