![]() This doubtful record locality, dragged by the general list of mammal species for the country without validation, somehow clouded the actual distribution of the species in the country especially, it made the distribution strangely expand as a disjunct distribution polygon in northern Colombia ( Cuarón et al. Independent of its validity, the alleged locality was previously presented as from Magdalena, thus generating confusion, and is now amended to Cundinamarca, which further supports the supposition that no previous records existed for this department. ![]() 2011b) due to inconsistencies regarding its true locality of origin, the need for a taxonomic revision and the lack of clarity of its collection history (the specimen details changed its locality, and no further details are provided). This record was previously discarded as unreliable ( González-Maya et al. narica from the Department of Magdalena, which was preserved in the collection of the Instituto de Ciencias Naturales ( ICN) of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia ( ICN-16360) nevertheless, this specimen is now catalogued as from Cundinamarca (Yacopí municipality) in the Cordillera Oriental, in central Colombia.

In fact, its distribution is considered a research priority for the group in Colombia ( González-Maya et al. ![]() narica is one of the least known small carnivores, with scarce data on its distribution and almost absent information on its natural history and ecology ( González-Maya et al. ![]() The white-nosed Coati, Nasua narica (Linnaeus, 1766), is a small carnivore of the family Procyonidae whose known geographic distribution ranges from the southern United States to the Andes in Ecuador ( Espinoza-García et al. ![]()
