Abstract

ABSTRACT We present the results of an inventory of small mammals in the Mayo River basin, one of the least-studied regions of the Central Andes in Peru. We conducted inventories at three locations in May 2007. We collected 47 species of small mammals in the study area: five marsupials, 31 bats, and 11 rodents. A new species of Sturnira was encountered and is described. The new species, which was previously confused with S. lilium, occurs east of the Andes in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, the Guianas, and Brazil, with an isolated record on the western slope of the Andes in Peru. Additionally, we report the presence of Anoura geoffroyi in Peru, Carollia sp. sensu Solari and Baker (2006) south of the Marañon River, and extend the elevational range of Neacomys spinosus and Oligoryzomys destructor. Our results highlight the need to conduct additional inventories to increase our understanding of the biodiversity of this rich and increasingly impacted region.

秘鲁北部梅奥河流域的小型哺乳动物及其一新种记述(翼翅目:毛毡甲科)

我们提出了在梅奥河流域，在秘鲁中部安第斯山脉研究最少的地区之一的小型哺乳动物的清查结果。我们于2007年5月在三个地点进行了清查。在研究区共收集到47种小型哺乳动物，其中有袋类动物5种，蝙蝠31种，啮齿动物11种。发现了一种新的Sturnira，并对其进行了描述。这个新物种以前与百合属植物混淆，它出现在安第斯山脉以东的哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、玻利维亚、委内瑞拉、圭亚那和巴西，在秘鲁安第斯山脉西坡有一个孤立的记录。此外，我们报道了在Marañon河以南的秘鲁、卡罗莱亚sp. sensu Solari和Baker(2006)中存在的Anoura geoffroyi，并扩大了Neacomys spinosus和Oligoryzomys destructor的海拔范围。我们的研究结果表明，有必要进行额外的调查，以增加我们对这一丰富且受影响日益严重的地区生物多样性的了解。

期刊介绍： The Bulletin, published continuously since 1881, consists of longer monographic volumes in the field of natural sciences relating to zoology, paleontology, and geology. Current numbers are published at irregular intervals. The Bulletin was originally a place to publish short papers, while longer works appeared in the Memoirs. However, in the 1920s, the Memoirs ceased and the Bulletin series began publishing longer papers. A new series, the Novitates, published short papers describing new forms.
