Material examined. Table 2; Figure 22.

Spilogale angustifrons is a small, short-legged and slim-bodied skunk that is mostly black with a complex pattern of white stripes and spots. This species could be

confused with other skunk species ( C. semistriatus or M. macroura ), both potentially present in the region, but the small size and complex pattern of white stripes and spots make this species unique.
