First record of the ghost bat Diclidurus scutatus Peters (Mammalia, Chiroptera, Emballonuridae) in São Paulo city, Brazil

Abstract

Because of their habits (fly high and harbor on palm leaves), there are few records of the ghost bat Diclidurus scutatus Peters, 1869. In Brazil, this species is known only from Northern region and this paper describes its first occurrence in Southeastern region. The ghost bat was found died on the window sill of a 9th floor apartment of a residential building in the urban area in the city of São Paulo, São Paulo State. Probably this bat must live at Serra da Cantareira, one of the Atlantic forest fragment nearby São Paulo city.

First confirmed record for Peru of Diclidurus scutatus Peters, 1869 (Chiroptera: Emballonuridae)

“…a Measurements provided by Jones (1966), Ojasti and Linares (1971), Starrett and Casebeer (1968), and Villa-R. and Ramirez-P. (1968). b Measurements provided by Albuja (1999), Husson (1962), and Sodré and Uieda (2006) and from the following specimens ROM 34575, 38505 and FMNH 88234-88235.…”

Morcegos da região sul do Brasil: análise comparativa da riqueza de espécies, novos registros e atualizações nomenclaturais (Mammalia, Chiroptera)

“…Chama a atenção o número de ampliações de distribuições geográficas e novos registros (e.g. DIAS et al, 2003;NOGUEIRA et al, 2003;POL et al, 2003;GREGORIN et al, 2004;CAMARGO & FISCHER, 2005;BORDIGNON, 2005;AGUIAR et al, 2006;FABIÁN et al, 2006;MELLO & POL, 2006;MIKALUSKAS et al, 2006;MIRANDA et al, 2006bMIRANDA et al, , 2007aMIRANDA et al, , 2007bSODRÉ & UIEDA, 2006;WEBER et al, 2006WEBER et al, , 2007BERNARDI et al, 2007;GAZARINI & BERNARDI, 2007;LONGO et al, 2007;SCULTORI et al, 2009). Além dessas novas ocorrências, foram realizadas descrições de novas espécies para o Brasil: Xeronycteris vierai Gregorin & Diethfield, 2006, Thyroptera devivoi Gregorin, Gonçalves & Engstron, 2006 e Eptesicus taddeii Miranda, Bernardi & Passos, 2006(GREGORIN & DIETCHFIELD, 2006MIRANDA et al, 2006a).…”

In the concrete jungle: the animalivorous bat Tonatia bidens (Phyllostomidae) recorded in the metropolis of São Paulo, Brazil

“…Our report shows that the urban bat fauna in Brazil is still insufficiently known, despite recent efforts to document it (e.g., Almeida et al 2015;Nunes et al 2017). Even in large cities close to research centers, new records are being made (e.g., Sodré & Uieda 2006;Sodré et al 2008;this study). We also highlight that behavioral plasticity in bats is understudied, as our new record suggests that T. bidens can tolerate more disturbances than previously assumed.…”
