Records. First record was in February 02, 2014, camera trap 5 (25°07.27ʹ S, 049°56.49ʹ W) and subsequently 2 individuals were recorded by opportunistic observations in the monitoring sites 1 and 7 (see Fig. 1 for coordinates).
Identification. The squirrel Guerlinguetus brasiliensis may be included among the native species. Although small in size, it is easily identifiable through photographs. The species is an average sized squirrel with occurrences recorded in the Atlantic Rainforest. It is distinguished from other squirrels due to its intermediate body size and such characteristics as voluminous tail, longer than or equal to the body.
