Distribution. Lesser Antillas, French Guiana, Guyana, northern Venezuela and Brazil (Pará State: Apeú, Castanhal) ( Schmidt, 2003; Schmalfuss, 2003; Boyko et al., 2008b; Campos-Filho et al., 2018). In Peru it is recorded from the department of Loreto, in the buffer zone of the Cordillera Azul National Park (Nueva Alianza). This work provides the first record of this species for Peru and considerably extends its distribution.

Ecological remarks. The specimens were collected in a floodplain forest at Nueva Alianza, sharing the same microhabitats with C. ornatus except for the marsupial’s skull.
