Ctenomys opimus
May 1 divine, 21 mi. NE Tarata, 15300', Dept. Tacna, Peru
2 feet from the one in which I set
the trap, which was still plugged.
Its head was at the entrance.
It had either backed into the trap

or had dug it while trying to
escape from the trap. It was heavily
infested with lice, some of which
I saved. No other traps were sprung.
