Mustrangi, Meika A. 1993 journal 46 Aracruz - ES what steep sloper where little creeks start. After a rain which happened during our stay there, the dry creek bed became a seas of little ponds (no running water) where frog/toads immediately laid their eggs. Traps remained opened for 3 nights, baited with banana, goiabada and mortade- la, totalling 360 trapnights. We also used some peanut butter (amendocrem). Trapping success was quite low. We caught 2 Didelphi, on the first night; another Didelphi's, a Marmo- sop and a Metachirus, on the 2nd night; and finally nothing on the third night. The Fund Biodiversitas' group captured 10 indivs. of Mammosop incanus in M.7 with 60 traps open for 6 days (360 trapnights). Interestingly, Fund Biodiversitas reported 2 individuals of Mammosa murina caught in Rio da Grota and in M.7. Mammosa mu- rina, according to Emmons's Guide, does not occur in this area. It's an Amazonian sp that extends its range to the extreme NE part of Brazil. This forest in Aracruz is part of the so-called Hílêa-baiana, or "tabuleiro"forest, which presents many if not most of its plant species closely related
