VOUCHER MATERIAL (N = 5): Jenaro Herrera (ZMMU S-155533 [the holotype, not seen]), San Pedro (UF 30466, MUSM 22334), Quebrada Sábalo (MUSA 15219 [not seen]), Quebrada Lobo (MUSA 15110 [not seen]).
13 The term yama has three distinct meanings. It designates short-tailed opossums (Monodelphis spp.), turnip-tailed geckos (Thecadactylus rapicaudus), and a species of arboreal rat that we have not been able to capture. The latter is described by the Matses as having reddish dorsal fur and a white belly, traits that do not quite fit any species known or expected to occur in the region. The magical properties attributed to yama rats were described by Voss et al. (2019: 34).
