Type Locality: Perú, Loreto Dept., 2.8 km E Jenaro Herrera, right bank of Río Ucayali, 135 m; 79°39'W, 04°52'S.

Vernacular Names: Long-nosed Scolomys.

Distribution: S Colombia, NE Peru, and westernmost Brazil (Acre and Amazonas) (Gómez-Laverde et al., 2004:Fig. 1).

Discussion: Based on qualitative traits, morphometric analyses, and cytochrome b sequences, Gómez-Laverde et al. (2004) considered the recently described juruaense as insufficiently differentiated to warrant specific separation.
