Isothrix bistriata Wagner 1845

Description

Isothrix bistriata Wagner 1845

Isothrix bistriata Wagner 1845, Arch. Naturgesch., 1: 146.

Type Locality: Brazil, Mato Grosso, Río Guaporé.

Vernacular Names: Yellow-crowned Brush-tailed Rat.

Subspecies::

Subspecies Isothrix bistriata subsp. bistriata Wagner 1845

Subspecies Isothrix bistriata subsp. orinoci Thomas 1899

Distribution: E Bolivia and E Peru, SW to NC Brazil, S Venezuela, adjacent Colombia.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).

Discussion: Patton and Emmons (1985) recognized 2 subspecies (bistriata and orinoci) and synonymized villosus in I. b. bistriata. Listed as bistriatus by Corbet and Hill (1991:206). The sequence analyses of da Silva and Patton (1993) and Patton et al. (2000) identified two geographic and taxonomic forms within bistriata. Bonvicino et al. (2003 a) recognized these two forms as distinct species, bistriata and negrensis. The karyotype has 2n=60, FN=116-118 (Leal-Mesquita, 1991; Patton et al., 2000).
