“…Lonchophylla peracchii is a new host of T. lonchophyllae. Other records of this parasite were made in Costa Rica (TIMM et al, 1989;MILLER;TSCHAPKA, 2001), Venezuela (WENZEL, 1976GROSE, 1981) and Panama (WENZEL et al, 1966), on L. robusta.…”

Because of the few records of Streblidae on bats, despite extensive study on these mammals in the state of Rio de Janeiro, a survey was carried out in an area of Atlantic Forest, in the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, known as the Tinguá region. Thirteen species were added to the list of Streblidae in the state of Rio de Janeiro, of which two were new records for Brazil. Thirty-one species have now been reported this state.

“…More than a decade ago Mares (1982Mares ( , 1986 and Pine (1982) expressed concern over the lack of research in the Neotropics, particularly South America, and our lack of knowledge of the composition and ecology of its mammalian faunas. Several recent studies document high mammalian diversity in tropical rain forests (Fonseca & Kierulff, 1989;Stallings, 1989;Timm et al, 1989;Woodman et al, 1991). Whether the mammalian diversity in rain forests, specifically in the Amazon Basin, is exceptional for the tropics is the subject of current controversy (Ghesser & Hackett, 1992;Mares, 1992a,b;Pimm & Gittleman, 1992).…”

Amazonian lowland rain forests are complex three-dimensional formations consisting of a variety of arboreal and terrestrial habitats. The small mammal faunas, particularly of arboreal habitats, are poorly studied, and field research generally has been limited to a few faunal inventories. We sampled the terrestrial and arboreal small mammal fauna in two floodplain forest study zones at Reserva Cuzco Amazonico, southeastern Peru, by removal trapping for 12 consecutive days in dry (June-July 1989) and rainy seasons (January-February 1990). Nineteen taxa of marsupials and rodents were captured. Small mammals were more abundant in the rainy season than in the dry season, but the relative proportions of the 11 most abundant species remained stable between seasons and study zones. Most species showed no decline in capture rates through the 12-day period, indicating that either population densities were high or animals were quite mobile. The small mammal fauna exhibited strong vertical stratification; among the 11 most abundant species, four exhibited strong biases toward terrestrial and five toward above-ground captures. The distinct arboreal small mammal community is grossly underrepresented if traps are placed only at ground level.
