Some taxonomists recognize five separate species of olingos (B. alleni, B. beddardi, B. gabbii, Taxonomic B. lasius, B. pauli; taken from taxonomy of Honacki et al. 1982) while others lump them Notes: into just two species: B. alleni and B. gabbii (Macdonald 1988, Eisenberg 1989). A third viewpoint considers that there is a single olingo species (Decker and Wozencraft 1991, Emmons 1990). Assessment Information [top] Red List Category & Criteria: Year Published: Date Assessed: Assessor/s: Reviewer/s: Data Deficient ver 3.1 2008 2008-06-30 Samudio, R., Pino, J.L. & Helgen, K. Duckworth, J.W. (Small Carnivore Red List Authority) & Schipper, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team) Contributor/s: Justification: This species is listed as Data Deficient due to ongoing taxonomic uncertainty. Without knowledge of the distribution, populations or habitat and threats to the species, it is not possible to assess it against the IUCN Red List Criteria. This species was previously listed as Endangered, however, further research is needed to resolve issues surrounding taxonomic uncertainly, after which this species must be reassessed. 1996 – Endangered History: 1994 – Indeterminate (Groombridge 1994) Geographic Range [top] Range Description: Countries: Range Map: This species has a very restricted distribution between Rio Chriqui Viejo and Rio Colorado in the Chiriqui area of Panama (Glatston 1994) and is suspected to occur in south-eastern Costa Rica (Cordilelra Talamanca). Native: Panama Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. Population [top] Population: Population Trend: 2 of 4 Nothing is known of populations of this species. Members of this genus are thought to be relatively rare. Confusion with kinkajous (Potos flavus) makes local anecdotes unreliable (Glatston, 1994). Unknown 7/24/13 7:41 PM http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/full/2612/0/print Habitat and Ecology [top] Nothing is known of the habitat and ecology of this species. Members of this genus are Habitat and nocturnal, arboreal and solitary - feeding on fruits and insects and are restricted to Ecology: humid forests (Emmons 1990). Systems: Terrestrial Threats [top] Members of this genus are arboreal and are suspected to be threatened by expanding Major settlements and habitat fragmentation. Deforestation is a threat to populations of this Threat(s): species. Although adult olingos are rarely hunted, the young are caught for pets (Glatston, 1994).
