TYPE MATERIAL AND TYPE LOCALITY: ROM 118880, the holotype by original designation, consists of the skin, skull, postcranial skeleton, and frozen tissues of an adult male collected 42 km south and 1 km east of Pompeya Sur (0.68° S, 76.47° W), Parque Nacional Yasuní, Orellana province, Ecuador.

SYNONYMS: None.

DISTRIBUTION: Marmosa jansae is currently known from the Amazonian lowlands of southeastern Colombia (Putumayo), eastern Ecuador (Orellana, Pastaza), and northeastern Peru (Loreto, north of the Amazon) (Voss and Giarla, 2021: fig. 2).

REMARKS: Specimens of Marmosa jansae were identified by Tate (1933) as M. germana germana or as M. g. rutteri , and subsequently collected specimens have often been identified as M. regina (e.g., by Hice and Velazco, 2012). Voss and Giarla (2021) provided a morphological description, measurement data, taxonomic comparisons, and other relevant information about this species.
