Reportamos un registro altitudinal inusual de Zorro Andino Pseudalopex culpaeus (Carnivora: Canidae) obtenido con cámaras trampa a 1353 m en el piedemonte suroriental andino, Copalinga Ecolodge, provincia de Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador. Este constituye el registro altitudinal más bajo de esta especie en el país y el primer reporte para una región en la que no existía evidencia previa de su presencia. Como información de referencia asociada, presentamos el listado de los mamíferos de pequeño a mediano tamaño registrados en esta localidad.AbstractWe report an unusual altitudinal record of the Culpeo Pseudalopex culpaeus (Carnivora: Canidae) registered by trap cameras at 1353 m in the southeastern Andean foothills at Copalinga Ecolodge, province of Zamora Chinchipe, Ecuador. This is the lowest altitudinal record documented for this species in the country and is the first report for a region where its presence was not previously evidenced. As reference associated information, we present the list of mammals from small to medium size registered in this locality.
