Records. Recorded by line transect (09°15.898′S, 068° 58.372′W), camera trapping, and hunter interviews.

Identification. The fur is coarse and short. The body coloration varies from dark brown to gray. The species is easily distinguished by the black mask that extends from the eyes to the base of the mandible, the various dark rings on the tail, and the length of the hind limbs ( Emmons 1997).
