A Monograph of the Chiropteran Genera Uroderma, Enchisthenes, and Artibeus

Abstract

The subjoined characterisation is confined to the points in which Uroderma differs from Artibeus.Skull (text-fig. 42, compare fig. 43).-Long and slender, in general shape somewhat recalling a Putorius nivalis skull-Rostrum but Text-fig. 42. Uroderma bilobatum, 2 ad. Para. B.M. 1.7.19.4. Upper, lower, and side view of skull; front view of incisors and canines. 2 A, B, C x 2, Dx £, Text-fig. 43. Artibeus cinereus cinereus, gad. Para. B.M. 1.7.19.3. Upper, lower, and side view of skull; front view of incisors and canines (for comparison with Uroderma). A, B,C x 3, D x 4. * US. N. M. nos. 22472 (37901), 111721. 1908. ] DR.

Phylogenetics and Phylogeography of the Artibeus jamaicensis Complex Based on Cytochrome-bDNA Sequences

“…This correspondence reduces possible concerns about pseudogene amplification or spurious ''single-gene'' results. Second, our results affirm previous morphological and molecular studies concerning the taxonomic status of A. planirostris (Andersen 1908;Koopman 1993;Lim 1997;Lim and Wilson 1993;Lim et al 2004;Patten 1971). Third, recognizing A. jamaicensis as Simmons (2005) Distribution of A. jamaicensis and A. planirostris.-The distribution of A. jamaicensis has varied in the literature according to taxonomy (Table 1).…”

“…6a and 6b). Furthermore, the distribution of A. planirostris (a statistically supported monophyletic group; clade C) is more widespread than previously thought (Andersen 1908;Hollis 2005;Koopman 1993;Lim 1997;Patten 1971). The range actually includes the area north of the Orinoco River and Llanos Savannah in Venezuela and in the southern Lesser Antilles it is found as far north as St. Lucia (Phillips et al 1989(Phillips et al , 1991Pumo et al 1988Pumo et al , 1996Figs.…”

“…However, at least 3 of these might be species. Specimens of Artibeus ''jamaicensis'' from east of the Andes Mountains and south of the Orinoco River in South America (planirostris), west of the Sierra Madre Mountains in southern Mexico (triomylus), and the southern Lesser Antillean island of St. Vincent (schwartzi) all have been hypothesized as different species based on morphological or molecular studies, or both (Andersen 1908;Guerrero et al 2004;Lim 1997;Lim and Wilson 1993;Lim et al 2004;Patten 1971;Phillips et al 1989). Thus, the definition of A. jamaicensis and its distributional limits remain unclear.…”

Quirópteros da Reserva Biológica do Tinguá, estado do Rio de Janeiro, sudeste do Brasil (Mammalia: Chiroptera)

“…A presença do terceiro molar superior foi considerada importante para distinção das espécies de grandes Artibeus (ANDERSEN 1908, TADDEI 1979, LIM & WILSON 1993 (TADDEI et al 1998). Complementando essas informações, entre 10 espécimes de A. obscurus de outra localidade do Rio de Janeiro, o terceiro molar superior esteve presente, em ambos os lados, em apenas um espécime; em outro espécime, presente apenas em um lado e em oito espécimes, não se notou qualquer vestígio deste dente (DIAS et al 2002).…”

Research on bats (Chiroptera) from the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil: annotated species list and bibliographic review

“…Carter & Dolan (1978) were able to locate the syntype of U. bilobatum from São Paulo that is housed in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt Universität, Berlin. The type locality was restricted to São Paulo by Andersen (1908). I located the specimen ZMB_MAM 411, that is the lectotype of Uroderma bilobatum.…”
