“…Thomas (1903) since Handley's (1966) study of Panamanian Lonchophylla. However, I agree with Albuja & Gardner's (2005) recognition of L. concava and L. mordax as distinct species. The two taxa are similar in size (Table 1) but differ in a number of qualitative skull characters (Woodman & Timm 2006).…”

The twelve recognized species of nectar-feeding bats of the genus Lonchophylla occur in low-and middle-elevation, humid, Neotropical forests. Morphological and morphometrical analyses of specimens formerly lumped with Lonchophylla mordax O. Thomas (1903) support recognition of Lonchophylla concava Goldman (1914) as a separate species and reveal a third species from the western Pacific lowlands of Colombia and Ecuador that I describe herein as Lonchophylla fornicata. This new species is morphologically similar to Lonchophylla concava but is distinctively larger than that species. Tests for sexual dimorphism within these and other species of Lonchophyllini suggest a tendency for females to have slightly longer, narrower skulls, higher coronoid processes of the mandible, and longer forearms than males. The genus Lonchophylla includes twelve species of nectar-feeding bats that are distributed primarily in tropical, low-to mid-elevation forests from southern Nicaragua south to southern Peru, Bolivia,

“…In the last decade, the number of new bat records reported for the Chocó biogeographic region in Colombia has increased exponentially: Diclidurus ingens, Lonchophylla chocoana, Lonchophylla orcesi, Artibeus rosenbergi, Micronycteris giovanniae, Platyrrhinus matapalensis, P. nitelinea, among others (Davalos 2004;Albuja V et al 2005;Velazco 2005;Fonseca et al 2007;Hoofer et al 2008;Mantilla-Meluk et al 2009;Velazco and Gardner 2009). The specimen reported here represents the first record of A. aequatorialis in the department of Chocó and extend the known northern limit of the species distribution by more than 153 km (Figure 1).…”

The Neotropical fruit bats of the genus Artibeus are distributed from southern México to northern Argentina occupying a wide array of different habitats. Of the 14 species present in Colombia, 85.7 % (n = 12) occur in the department of Choco. Bat inventories were carried out by the Consejo Comunitario Mayor de Istmina and Medio San Juan (COCOMINSA) and the Universidad Tecnológica del Chocó in the corregimiento de Chiqui Choqui, municipality of Medio San Juan. We present a new record of A. aequatorialis for Colombia, that makes an important addition to the bat fauna of Chocoan biogeographic region and is the northernmost record of the species. Our specimen of A. aequatorialis was collected in the Chiqui Choqui locality, that belongs to the district of Alto-Atrato San Juan that is a poorly study area, whose diversity is threatened by human activities, like deforestation and mining activities. Los murciélagos frugívoros Neotropicales del género Artibeus extienden su distribución desde el sur de México hasta el norte de Argentina ocupando una gran variedad de habitas. De las 14 especies registradas para Colombia el 85.7 % (n = 12) ocurren en el departamento del Chocó. Muestreos con redes de nieblas fueron llevados a cabo durante un inventario de murciélagos realizado cabo por el Consejo Comunitario Mayor

A distinctive new species of sturnirine bat, Sturnira (Sturnira) koopmanhilli, new species (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae: Stenodermatinae), is described from 49 specimens collected in the Pacific drainage of the western Andes, at 300-2000 m in western Ecuador and Colombia. This yellow-shouldered bat is endemic to this Chocoan region where it is known from nine localities in Ecuador (Esmeraldas and Chimborazo) and Colombia (Chocó, Valle del Cauca, and Nariño). This moderately large Sturnira species (forearm length, 48.1-52.4 mm) is compared with Sturnira mordax (Goodwin, 1938) (forearm length, 43.0-49.2) and Sturnira ludovici Anthony, 1924 (forearm length, 43.9-49.5). Salient characters that distinguish the new species from these two cogeners include a bicolored appearance of dorsal fur, recessed hypoglossal foramina, presence of a sulcus on posterior faces of upper canines, and teeth P2 > M2. Teeth I1 and i1 are protrudent and robust, which set the new species apart from other Sturnira species. Spacing between teeth P1-M3 and p1-m3 is present in the new bat and with the subgenus Corvira. The new species is placed in the subgenus Sturnira.
