RESUMENSe analizó el contenido estomacal de cinco ejemplares del murciélago amarillo de "El Infiernillo" (Rhogeessa mira Laval, 1973), procedentes de una nueva localidad de estudio El Zapoteco-Zicuirán, municipio de La Huacana, Michoacán, México. Anteriormente solo se habían reportado fragmentos de individuos de insectos pertenecientes a las familias Tachinidae, Therevidae (Diptera) y Lepidoptera. Los resultados del presente análisis, confirman la ingesta de insectos de los órdenes: Diptera y Lepidoptera, adicionando individuos de Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera y Blattodea, así como del orden Psocoptera y de la subclase Acari, posiblemente ingeridas de manera accidental. El orden Coleoptera representó más del 60% de consumo en todos los individuos revisados, lo que lo convierte en el grupo más abundante en el contenido digestivo del murciélago.Palabras clave: contenido estomacal, Cuenca del Bajo Balsas, ecología, insectívoro, microendémico, murciélago amarillo del Balsas.ABSTRACTThe stomach contents of five the Balsas´s yellow bats (Rhogeessa mira Laval, 1973), from a new study site were analyzed: The Zapoteco-Zicuirán, municipality of La Huacana, Michoacan, Mexico. Previously, there have been recorded fragments pertaining to individuals within the Arhtropoda family’s Techinidae and Therevidae (Diptera) and the order Lepidoptera. The results from the food content analysis confirmed the presence of insects within the orders Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, Neuroptera, Blattodea, Psocoptera, and the subclass Acari possibly accidentally ingested. The order Coleoptera accounted for over 60% of consumption in all of the studied specimens, turning it into the most abundant group in the bats digestive content.Key words: stomachal contents, Basin lower Balsas, ecology, insectivore, microendemic Balsas´s yellow bat – least yellow bat.
