Comments:

1) MPEG 41025 was collected in Trairão or Uruará municipality (Elildo Carvalho Jr., specimen’s collector, pers. comm. March 2018). Thus “Santarém, Iriri, Frei” probably is a mistranslated data for the catalogue book, since Iriri River is ca. 195 km southeastern far from Santarém municipality;

2) In the Goeldi & Hagmann’s catalogue (1906) the number 145 (= ’n. 145’, pag. 65) refer to a Felis concolor (= Puma concolor). In two ancient catalogues of ‘Museu Paraense’ the specimen number 145 is identified as ‘Felis’ and as ‘ Felis concolor’, respectively, from Ceará state, with passage by Zoological Garden (= ’ Ceará,Jardim Zool.’) from 17/II/1900 to 06/VII/1911.

3) Leopardus pardalis is included in CITES Appendix I (CITES, 2017).
