Abstract

Based on newly material from the Department of Putumayo and material collected in 1951 by Phillip Hershkovitz, the presence of Marmosops noctivagus is confirmed in at least three localities for Colombia. Additionally, the first record of M. bishopi is presented for Colombia extending its distribution by 750 Km northward.
