Mammalia, Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae, Lampronycteris brachyotis (Dobson, 1879): first record in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil

Abstract

None

First record of the Vulnerable bat Furipterus horrens (Cuvier, 1828) (Chiroptera: Furipteridae) in the state of Paraná, southern Brazil

“…Thus, it was expected that this species would occur in Paraná. With this new record, the number of bat species known to Paraná has now increased to 70 (Bianconi et al 2009, Scultori et al 2009, Passos et al 2010, Moratelli et al 2011, Carvalho et al 2014. Although recently there has been an increase in the number of bat records in the Atlantic Forest of Paraná, a number of factors such as fewer long-term monitoring schemes and the routine use of mist nets for recording species have been detrimental to improving the knowledge on Paraná's bat diversity (Varzinczak et al 2016).…”

First record of Vampyrodes caraccioli (Thomas, 1889) (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) for the state of Paraná, and range extension to southern region of Brazil

“…Although we examined only a single specimen, these data may indicate that V. caraccioli shows a clinal variation in size, as observed in other species (e.g., Bornholdt et al 2008;Tavares and Velazco 2010;Garbino 2011;. Studies examining a larger number of specimens are necessary to confirm or rule out this hypothesis (Scultori et al 2009b).…”

Expansion of the southern limit of Vampyrodes caraccioli Thomas, 1889 (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) and first record for Santa Catarina state, southern Brazil

“…Zortéa et al 2013, Dias et al 2016, Basílio et al 2017, including the southern region of the country (e.g. Weber et al 2006, Gazarini and Bernardi 2007, Miranda et al 2007, Scultori et al 2009a, b, c, Carvalho and Fabián 2011. Additionally, in the last 6 years the distribution of the genus Vampyrodes Thomas, 1900 has been expanded , Velazco and Simmons 2011, Carvalho et al 2014, Lopes et al 2016.…”
