“…Photographs by IDENTIFICATION: Myotis albescens is distinguished from other Neotropical Myotis by the following combination of characteristics: fur long and silky, dorsal pelage with frosted appearance due to pale-tipped hairs, fringe of hairs present along the trailing edge of uropatagium, sagittal crest absent, broad interorbital and postorbital constrictions, and a globular braincase (LaVal, 1973;Lopez-Gonzalez et al, 2001;Moratelli and de Oliveira, 2011). Descriptions and measurements of M. albescens were provided by Miller (1928), Husson (1962Husson ( , 1978, Quintela et al (2008), Braun et al (2009), Moratelli and de Oliveira (2011), and Moratelli et al (2013, 2015a. No subspecies are currently recognized (Braun et al, 2009), but analyses of molecular data (cytochrome b sequences) suggest the presence of at least four lineages that are >5 % divergent from each other (Larsen et al, 2012); the possibility that these mtDNA haplogroups represent cryptic taxa merits future testing with nuclear-gene sequences or phenotypic data.…”
