Abstract

A Contribution to the Taxonomy of the Andean Bear, Tremarctos ornatus (Carnivora, Ursidae). Brandstaetter, F. — The Andean bear’s taxonomy is discussed with some nomenclatorial corrections and discussions of some common names for the species. The most widely used common name has been changed from spectacled bear to Andean bear in favour of the animal’s importance in conservation issues for the Andean region.
