Subfamily Carolliinae Miller, 1924

Seven species are currently recognized in this monogeneric subfamily, but perhaps two undescribed species have been identified ( Solari and Baker, 2006; Velazco, 2013). Velazco (2013) noted that C. brevicauda and C. perspicillata exhibit the lowest pairwise cytochrome b divergence among all the species pairs of the genus, suggesting the possibility that brevicauda and perspicillata should be synonymized. However, making a nomenclatural decision affecting two of the most studied mammal species in the Neotropics requires analyses of additional markers. We recorded four species, one of them unnamed, at the three sampled localities.
