  Comments:
wiki and MHLW have this one and "Galea flavidens" flipped, I 
went with MHLW's version. (wiki says that musteloides is 
found in  Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru, while 
flavidens is from Brazil, so it seems likely flavidens would 
be ブラジルクイ rather than クイ)

it's not apparent what language "cuy" comes from - it's 
mentioned in the Spanish wikipedia article: "El cuis moro 
(Galea musteloides), también conocido como tuco-tuco, cuy 
serrano, cuy de dientes amarillos o conejo moro" but I would 
guess it's from an Amerindian language...
