摘要在包括啮齿类动物在内的一些哺乳动物群体中，已经报道了白化病等异常的皮毛颜色模式，但尽管该群体的丰富性，这种现象在文献中的记录相对较少。白化病标本在<2%的啮齿类动物中有报道，发现了4种新热带物种（Delomys dorsalis，Heteromys corpus，Phyllotis andium）。在新世界豪猪（Erethizontidae）中，白化病仅见于北美的物种Erethizon dorsatum。在这里，我们报告的第一个白化病记录从新热带区为这组，一个树桩尾豪猪（Coendou rufescens）在北方厄瓜多尔。
Abstract Aberrant pelage color patterns such as albinism have been reported in some mammal groups including rodents, but in spite of the group’s richness, the phenomenon is relatively poorly documented in the literature. Albino specimens are reported in <2% of the species of rodents, four records of neotropical species were found (Delomys dorsalis, Heteromys anomalus, Octodon degus, Phyllotis andium). Of New World porcupines (Erethizontidae), albinism was documented only in the North American species Erethizon dorsatum. Here we report the first albino record from the Neotropics for this group, a stump-tailed porcupine (Coendou rufescens) in northern Ecuador.
