Material examined. COSTA RICA • Puntarenas Prov- ince, Piedras Blancas National Park ; stations ID 1,15 ( Table 3); first capture on 18 June 2016; camera trap photos .

Identification. The Central American Red Brocket is a small, reddish-brown deer. There are no markings present on the face ( Wainwright and Arias 2007). May be confused with the White-tailed Deer ( Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann, 1780 ). Mazama temama is

considerably smaller and lacks the facial markings of O. virginianus .
