Comment:
Comments: Dicotylidae does not have priority over Tayassuidae (Article 40.2, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature; International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1999). G. M. Roosmalen (in litt.) is preparing to name a fourth species of peccary from the Amazon basin
Comment:
CITES: Appendix II except the species included in Appendix I and MX and US populations of Pecari tajacu, adopted at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Doha, 2010)
