“…The INP is the only wildlife refuge in the entire region and is therefore of invaluable worth in terms of biodiversity and conservation (Tabarelli et al, 2005). Considering the conservation significance of the species and the lack of information about it in such an important part of its range, more research would help in piecing together recent occurrence reports and behavioral descriptions from different locations in South and Central America (Koster, 2008;Pérez Jimeno & Amaya, 2009;Hack & Krüger, 2013;Braga et al, 2014).
