The Chinchin river basin, located on the western flank of the Central Cordillera of Colombia, has been transformed by human activity. However, the basin still holds a great richness of mammal species typical of the Colombian Andes, which is necessary to document and divulgate. The aim of this paper is to provide the richness, composition, and distribution of mammals that inhabit the Chinchin river basin. We only took into account the records of mammals that are supported with individuals or part of these deposited in scientific collections and / or pictures published that support the observation. We recorded a total of 99 species, distributed in 11 orders, 26 families and 67 genera. Of the mammals recorded, according to IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature), four species are in the category Vulnerable (VU): _Aotus lemurinus_, _Dinomys branickii_, _Leopardus tigrinus _and _Mazama rufina_; five are in the category Data Deficient (DD): _Cabassous centralis_, _Histiotus humboldti_, _Nasuella olivacea_, _Sciurus pucheranii_, _Thomasomys bombycinus_; and four are in the category Near Threatened (NT): _Cuniculus taczanowskii_, _Sturnira aratathomasi_, _Sturnira oporaphilum _and _Vampyrum spectrum_. |
