Geographic Distribution, Ecology, and Phylogenetic Affinities ofThyroptera lavaliPine 1993

“…The specimen of T. lavali collected in Pará, Brazil, was netted within a forest fragment surrounded by grass savanna (Bernard and Fenton, 2002). Finally, according to Ascorra et al (1993), the single T. lavali from Jenaro Herrera, Loreto, also was collected with a mist net.…”

First record of the pale-faced bat Phylloderma stenops Peters 1865 (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in the province of Guayas, Southwest Ecuador

“…Phylloderma stenops is a rare species in Ecuador (Reid et al 2000;Albuja and Mena-V. 2004;Trujillo and Albuja 2005;Carrera et al 2010;Brito and Arguero 2012) and other South American countries (Ascorra et al 1991(Ascorra et al , 1993Sánchez and Rivas 1993;Bredt et al 1999;Sampaio et al 2003;Acosta and Aguanta 2006), with no previous record from Guayas Province or in semi-deciduous forests (Parker and Carr 1992;Rodríguez et al 1995;Albuja 1982Albuja , 1999Albuja and Mena-V. 2004;Trujillo and Albuja 2005;Tirira 2007Tirira , 2008Salas 2008). Recent records that have been published for this species are from other locations in southwestern Ecuador, specifically in Puyango, in the El Oro Province (Carrera et al 2010), and in the Amazonian Region, specifically from the Morona Santiago and Zamora Chinchipe provinces (Brito and Arguero 2012).…”

“…Other Phylloderma stenops Peters, 1865 is a large bat with robust body, white wingtips, large and narrow muzzle, broad and lance-shaped nose leaf, and reddish-brown dorsal hairs with pale base and an often slightly bright terminal band (Goodwin 1942;LaVal and Rodríguez-H. 2002;Tirira 2007;Medellín et al 2008;Díaz et al 2011). Currently, three subspecies are recognized (Simmons 2005;Gardner 2008): P. s. septentrionalis Goodwin, 1940, which occurs in Central America, from southern Mexico to Belize (Goodwin 1942(Goodwin , 1946LaVal and Rodríguez-H. 2002;Cruz-Lara et al 2004;Medellín et al 2008;Reid 2009); P. s. stenops Peters, 1865, recorded in several countries of northern South America, such as Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and the northwest and southern regions of Peru (Goodwin and Greenhall 1964;Handley 1976;Sánchez and Rivas 1993;Ascorra et al 1991Ascorra et al , 1993Tirira 2007;Williams and Genoways 2008), extending into the Amazon Basin and southeastern Brazil (Sampaio et al 2003;Esbérard and Faria 2006;Williams and Genoways 2008); and P. s. boliviensis Barquez & Ojeda, 1979, endemic to Bolivia (Anderson 1997Acosta and Aguanta 2006;Díaz et al 2011). In Ecuador, P. stenops was reported in 1998, in a meeting abstract by I. Castro and L. Novilos, but the first published reference was provided by Albuja and Mena-V. (2004), and it has been reported in the coastal (lowland evergreen forests, inundated floodplain forests, deciduous forests) and Amazonian regions (mostly evergreen forests), but not in the inter-Andean region (Tirira 1999(Tirira , 2007…”
