The geographical distribution hitherto known for Dactylomys dactylinus was practically restricted to the western Amazon. New data on occurrence and habitat use were collected during field trips to Marajó Island, Pará, and to the state of Maranhão, Brazil. These data include visual and auditory observations, collection of specimens, and reports from local inhabitants. Seven new locality records are presented,
indicating the presence of this species in habitats with different degrees of environmental disturbance.The geographical distribution of the taxon is enlarged to the East as far as the eastern border of the Amazonian
forest. |
