Marmosa (Stegomarmosa) andersoni Pine, 1972

TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: FMNH 84252 , the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of a young adult male collected at Hacienda Villa Carmen (12.83° S, 71.25° W; 600 m) on the Río Cosñipata , Cusco department, Peru .

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Marmosa andersoni is currently known from just four rainforested localities between 470 and 1100 m along the base of the eastern Andes in the Peruvian departments of Cusco and Pasco ( Zeballos et al., 2019: fig. 1).

REMARKS: This morphologically distinctive species, originally known only from the holotype, is now represented by 13 specimens and has been redescribed by Solari and Pine (2008), Voss et al. (2014), and Zeballos et al. (2019). The last-named authors tabulated measurement data from four adults, the largest morphometric sample yet compiled for publication.
