Amazonian New Species

Darren Naish has added several postings to his blog, Tetrapod Zoology, regarding the phenomenal work that Dr. Marc van Roosmalen has done in tracking down significant new species in the Amazon: primates, peccaries, a dwarf manatee, a large feline, an anteater, a coati, and much more. Several of these are in process of being described (the giant peccary this next month). Darren's postings are Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4. van Roosmalen's website is here.
