I was unable to come up with enough bling bling to buy off a few interior officials! LOL (Very BAD joke)

Actually, Profauna (The wildlife Department of Venezuela) is opening up a bit to the idea of wildlife exportation, but securing permits still entails a great deal of time and finances. Keep in mind, over 30% of the flora and fauna within the Bolivarian Republic is protected under the IUCN and the percentage is expected to grow astronomically, as well over 280,000 hectares are lost each year to deforestation.
Anyhow, it’s possible we could see a few D. caudomaculatus enter the country, most likely through Guyana, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
I have to wonder about those “calico” or “pie-bald” cribos the late Lloyd Lemke had, as I believe they could very well have been D. caudomaculatus, as the species had yet to be described at the time.
Oh well, guess I will have to give Jose Louis Mendez-Arocha a call.. ;0)

Best regards,

Jeff
