What

Red Silky Anteater (Cyclopes rufus)

Description

I know this species isn't officially registered in Bolivia yet, but this individual found in the market in Riberalta (before released back into the wild) lacks the ventral stripe you'd expect for C. catellus. If the ID is correct, this individual would indicate that C. rufus is not endemic to Brazil, and that Cyclopes is presented by at least two species.
