Description

Puma concolor (Linnaeus)

SPECIMENS COLLECTED: None.

OTHER MATERIAL: Apparently none.

REMARKS: Pumas are hunted along the crest of the Cordillera Oriental, where they are said to follow the movements of deer in remote parts of the páramo near Cerro Antisana (Emerson and Johnson, 1960), but I did not observe any in the course of my work near Papallacta.
