Mammalian diversity in the Savanna from Peru, with three new addictions from country

“…Our new records for Peru add one more genus and three species to the country reaching to 541 mammal species in Peru (Pacheco et al, 2009;Lim et al, 2010;Velazco et al, 2010aVelazco et al, , 2010bGregorin & Almeida, 2010;Gutiérrez et al, 2010;Mantilla-Meluk & Baker, 2010;Díaz, 2011;Velazco & Cadenillas, 2011;Hice & Velazco, 2012;Larsen et al, 2012;Medina et al, 2012;Jiménez et al, 2013;Marsh, 2014;Medina et al, 2014;Pacheco et al, 2014;Rengifo et al, 2014;Velazco et al, 2014;Zeballos et al, 2014;Patton et al, 2015;Hurtado & Pacheco, 2015;Vermeer & Tello-Alvarado, 2015). That show the importance of conduced Flora and Fauna Monitoring Programs for knowing better the diversity of Peruvian mammals in Peru as a whole and in Pampas del Heath in particular.…”

New distribution records of Pithecia rylandsi and Pithecia mittermeieri (Primates, Pitheciidae) and an updated distribution map

“…The genus Pithecia was recently revised by Marsh (2014). In this review, she recognized 16 monotypic species, five of which were described for the first time.…”

“…Pithecia rylandsi Marsh, 2014 occurs in the southern Amazon, in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Marsh (2014) listed localities in the Pando region of northwest Bolivia, in the province of Nicolás Suárez (Bolivia), south of the Acre River, near the Peruvian and Brazilian borders (including the Tahuamanu and Nareuda rivers) and in Peru, west of the Los Amigos Conservation Concession and Los Amigos River (at least as far as the Manu Wildlife Center at the mouth of the Alto Madre de Dios River) and in a northerly direction of the Madre de Dios River.…”

Specimens collected by J. Natterer in 1829 indicated that this species occurs in the central-west region of the Brazilian states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso, near the Bolivian border (delimited by the Mamoré-Guaporé rivers).…”

“…Pithecia mittermeieri is endemic to Brazil, and part of its distribution entails what was previously assumed to be the range of P. irorrata (Hershkovitz 1987;Marsh 2014). This species is distributed south of the Amazonas River between the Madeira and Tapajós rivers, including the drainage of the Aripuanã River, and extends into Rondônia, east of the Madeira and Mamoré Rivers, as well as the Guaporé River.…”
