Description

Coendu ichillus is a species of dwarf porcupine (Rodentia, Erethizontidae) found in the Neotropics. First described in 2001 from Ecuador and Iquitos, Peru, its known range has since been expanded to include the Amazonia of southern Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, and Brazil. Here I report a new distribution record of C. ichillus representing the first record from the province of Tambopata in the Madre de Dios region of southeastern Peru.
