AbstractSanborn’s bonneted bat (Eumops hansae), an insectivorous Molossidae, is widely distributed in the Neotropics. However, records are scattered throughout its distribution with confirmed records from a few countries of South and Central America. Here, we record the first specimen of this species for Colombia. With this new record, the number of Eumops species in Colombia raises to eight and molossid species to 27. We recommend efforts of bat sampling to be directed towards habitats where molossid bats concentrate their foraging activities, thus increasing the knowledge of these rare bats and their occurrence in museum collections.
