Philander pebas Voss et al., 2018

TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: MVZ 190343, the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin, skull, and frozen tissues of an adult male collected at Igarapé Nova Empresa (6.80° S, 70.73° W) on the left bank of the Rio Juruá, Amazonas, Brazil.

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: As currently documented by examined specimens, Philander pebas occurs in eastern Ecuador (Orellana), eastern Peru (Loreto, Madre de Dios, Ucayali), and western Brazil (Acre, Amazonas), but Voss et al. (2018) speculated that the species might range throughout the várzea landscapes (seasonally inundated by white-water rivers) of western Amazonia, including those in southeastern Colombia, where it is still unknown.

REMARKS: A morphological description, illustrations, comparisons with congeneric species, summary statistics for external and craniodental measurements, and analyses of mtDNA sequence data were provided by Voss et al. (2018).
