The Peruvian tree rat (Makalata rhipidura) is a species of rodent in the family Echimyidae.[1] It is found in northeastern Peru and adjacent Ecuador, where it is found in the Amazon rainforest.[2] It is nocturnal and arboreal.[2]
The etymology of the species name derives from the two ancient greek words Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "fan", and Template:Wikt-lang (Template:Grc-transl), meaning "animal tail".[3][4]
