“…These data are suggestive of hidden bat diversity still to be discovered in Brazil. More interestingly, in sharp contrast to the suggestion of Marinho-Filho and Sazima (1998) [López-Baucells et al 2014], due to the absence of voucher material). This change is of particular importance if we consider that, in relation to Amazonia, these biomes had a much larger proportion of their original areas converted into anthropic landscapes (MMA 2007) and present a much smaller proportion of protected forests (Gurgel et al 2009).…”

“…An alleged record of the species for the Amazon biome has been recently published (López-Baucells et al 2013), but no voucher specimen supports this claim and the individual that forms the basis of this record lacked the pure white ventral pelage coloration that seems to be characteristic of Micronycteris sanborni (see Simmons 1996, Feijó et al 2015b). Applying Hitchens’ razor, we dismiss the alleged record for the Amazon biome (contra López-Baucells et al 2013), a view we share with other authors (see Nogueira et al 2014b, Feijó et al 2015b). In addition, as noted by Feijó et al (2015b), alleged records from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul need to be confirmed.…”

Citation: Gutiérrez EE, Marinho-Filho J (2017) The mammalian faunas endemic to the Cerrado and the Caatinga. ZooKeys 644: 105-157. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.644.10827 AbstractWe undertook a comprehensive, critical review of literature concerning the distribution, conservation status, and taxonomy of species of mammals endemic to the Cerrado and the Caatinga, the two largest biomes of the South American Dry-Diagonal. We present species accounts and lists of species, which we built with criteria that, in our opinion, yielded results with increased scientific rigor relative to previously published lists -e.g., excluding nominal taxa whose statuses as species have been claimed only on the basis of unpublished data, incomplete taxonomic work, or weak evidence. For various taxa, we provided arguments regarding species distributions, conservation and taxonomic statuses previously lacking in the literature. Two major findings are worth highlighting. First, we unveil the existence of a group of species endemic to both the Cerrado and the Caatinga (i.e., present in both biomes and absent in all other biomes). From the biogeographic point of view, this group, herein referred to as Caatinga-Cerrado endemics, deserves attention as a unit -just as in case of the Caatinga-only and the Cerrado-only endemics. We present preliminary hypotheses on the origin of these three endemic faunas (Cerrado-only, Caatingaonly, and Caatinga-Cerrado endemics). Secondly, we discovered that a substantial portion of the endemic mammalian faunas of the Caatinga and the Cerrado faces risks of extinction that are unrecognized in the highly influential Red List of Threatened Species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). "Data deficient" is a category that misrepresents the real risks of extinction of these species considering that (a) some of these species are known only from a handful of specimens collected in a single or a few localities long ago; (b) the Cerrado and the Caatinga have been sufficiently sampled to guarantee collection of additional specimens of these species if they were abundant; (c) natural habitats RESEARCH ARTICLE Launched to accelerate biodiversity research A peer-reviewed open-access journalEliécer E. Gutiérrez & Jader Marinho-Filho / ZooKeys 644: 105-157 (2017) 106 of the Cerrado and the Caatinga have been substantially altered or lost in recent decades. Failures either in the design of the IUCN criteria or in their application to assign categories of extinction risks represent an additional important threat to these endemic faunas because their real risks of extinctions become hidden. It is imperative to correct this situation, particularly considering that these species are associated to habitats that are experiencing fast transformation into areas for agriculture, at an unbearable cost for biodiversity.

“…On the other hand, the position of E. maurus within Eumops seems more stable as this taxon is frequently recovered as the sister of auripendulus based both on molecular (Bartlett, et al 2013;Gregorin, et al 2016;Medina, et al 2014) and morphological data (Gregorin 2009). DNA barcoding is still not always employed in studies that report new species occurrences or distribution range expansions in many taxa (Bezerra et al 2005;Khedkar et al 2016;López-Baucells et al 2013, 2014Moras et al 2015;Tavares et al 2014; but see Khedkar, et al 2016;López-Baucells et al 2016b, 2017bNagy, et al 2012;Seyhan and Turan 2016). Its increasingly common use as a supporting tool for inventories will certainly accelerate the study and description of Neotropical bat diversity.…”

Eumops maurus and E. hansae are rarely captured Neotropical molossid bats for which information on taxonomy, natural history, and spatial distribution are scarce. This translates into a poor understanding of their ecology and limits the delimitation of useful characters for their identification. Here, we describe records of these two molossids from the Central Brazilian Amazon, providing data on their external and craniodental morphology, DNA barcode (COI) sequences complemented by acoustic data for the species. Morphological characters, DNA sequence data and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Eumops were consistent with those previously described for both species. Echolocation call characteristics did not differ significantly so as to be useful for separating E. maurus and E. hansae from other congeners. Our records are, respectively the first and the second for Central Amazonia as one individual previously attributed to E. amazonicus from Manaus may be considered a junior synonym for E. hansae. These new records increase the extent of the species' known ranges, partially filling in previous existing gaps in their distribution in central South America. Our data further suggest that these molossid bats forage in a wider range of habitats than previously thought.
