Didelphis pernigra J.A. Allen View in CoL

SPECIMENS COLLECTED: 1.4 km (by road) E Papallacta, 9980 ft (UMMZ 155582).

OTHER MATERIAL: Apparently none.

TAXONOMY: The white­eared Neotropical Didelphis were recently revised by Lemos and Cerqueira (2002), who distinguished the Andean form ( D. pernigra ) as a distinct species from the predominantly lowland taxon D. albiventris Lund , with which it was formerly synonymized (e.g., by Gardner, 1993).

FIELD OBSERVATIONS: The single specimen of Didelphis pernigra that I collected near Papallacta in 1980 was taken at 3040 m in a wire live trap set on the ground in wet secondary growth surrounded by pastures and agricultural fields.
