Long-tailed armored tree-rat
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
The long-tailed armored tree-rat (Makalata macrura), is a spiny rat species from South America.[1] It is found in Brazil, with a population in Ecuador which is referable either to this species or to Makalata didelphoides. Initially considered a large form of the latter species,[2] it actually represents a distinct species as supported by morphological and molecular characters.[3]
The etymology of the species name derives from the two ancient greek words Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "long", and Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "animal tail".[4][5]
