Sphiggurus vestitus: Comments
Comment:
Status: IUCN - Vulnerable
Comment:
Comments: Reviewed by Voss and da Silva (2001), who included Sphiggurus in Coendou. Includes pruinosus according to Cabrera (1961), Concepción and Molinari (1991), Woods (1993), and Soriano and Ochoa (1997), but see Voss and da Silva (2001) for a discussion of the morphological distinctiveness of these two taxa. Assigned to vestitus-group based on presence of bristle-quills (Voss and da Silva, 2001)
