The Subspecific Status of Two Central American Sloths

University of Kansas Publications Museum of Natural History Volume 5, No. 24, pp. 313-317 November 21, 1952 University of Kansas LAWRENCE 1952 University of Kansas Publications, Museum of Natural History Editors: E. Raymond Hall, Chairman, A. Byron Leonard, Edward H. Taylor, Robert W. Wilson Volume 5, No. 24, pp. 313-317 November 21, 1952 University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas PRINTED BY FERD VOILAND, JR., STATE PRINTER TOPEKA, KANSAS 1952 25-4545 New name combinations for two kinds of Central American sloths that heretofore have stood in the literature as nominal species are given below, along with the evidence supporting their relegation to subspecific rank. Research assistance has been provided from a contract (NR 161-791) between the Office of Naval Research, Department of the Navy, and the University of Kansas. Goldman (Smiths. Misc. Coll., 60(22):1, February 28, 1913) named the three-toed sloth from extreme eastern Panam (Marraganti: 1 specimen, the type) and northwestern Colombia (Atrato River: 2 specimens) as Bradypus ignavus. He characterized the newly-named species as differing from Bradypus griseus (type locality Cordillera de Chucu, Veragua, Panam) and Bradypus castaneiceps (type locality, Chontales, Nicaragua) in "nasals shorter, with anterior border concave or emarginate, the emargination deepest at median suture; squamosal arm of zygoma broader, more rounded, less acutely pointed anteriorly; palate less deeply grooved posteriorly; symphysis of mandible less produced anteriorly beyond plane of first molars." Later, Goldman (Smiths. Misc. Coll., 69(5):57-58, April 24, 1920) arranged Bradypus castaneiceps as a subspecies of B. griseus, reaffirmed the full specific identity of Bradypus ignavus, and identified specimens from Tapalisa, Cituro, and Real de Santa Maria, all in eastern Panam, as belonging to B. ignavus. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
