Thylamys (Thylamys) tatei (Handley, 1957) View in CoL

TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: USNM 302915 About USNM , the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin and skull of an adult male collected at Chasquitambo (10.32° S, 77.62° W; 710 m), Ancash department, Peru GoogleMaps .

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Thylamys tatei is only known from western Peru in the departments of Ancash and Lima (Creighton and Gardner. 2008c: map 49).

REMARKS: See Giarla et al. (2010) for an emended description, measurement data, and comparisons with closely related taxa. Phylogenetic analyses of multilocus sequence datasets (e.g., Giarla et al., 2010) have recovered Thylamys tatei as a member of the robustly supported Elegans Group, within which it appears to be most closely related to one or more undescribed taxa from coastal Peru.
