Comment:
Status: IUCN - Lower Risk (nt), however, Borroto and Ramos (2003) recommend status of critically endangered
Comment:
Comments: Closely related to Mysateles prehensilis, but differs in the proportion of the tail, which is 62 percent of body length in meridionalis, 73 percent in gundlachi, and 79 percent in prehensilis; see also comments under prehensilis
