Figure 4D

Examined material. BOLIVIA; Province of Ñuflo de Chávez of Santa Cruz Department; Centro “Chiquitos”; 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 ( Table 1); first capture on 23 March 2017; secondary forest patch in pastureland, primary forest, and border of pastureland to forest.

Identification. This is the most common cervid in the dry forests of lowland Bolivia. Its overall color is grayish brown with the mid-back and outer side of legs a little darker and the throat, neck and venter grayish and lighter. It is smaller than Red Brocket Deer, Mazama americana (Erzleben, 1777) (13–23 kg vs 17–30 kg), which shows a reddish-brown coat overall with a contrasting whitish throat. Red Brockets do occur in the region but are rarer ( Rivero et al. 2005), limited to taller forest, and were not recorded in this survey.
