Carollia brevicauda (Schinz, 1821)

VOUCHER MATERIAL: El Diamante: 9 adult females ( FMNH 203356 , 203358 , 203554 , 203556 , 203558 ; MUSM 39145 , 39148 , 39149 , 39151 ), 4 males ( FMNH 203360 ; MUSM 39146 , 39147 , 39150 ) ; Tingana: 4 adult females ( FMNH 203362 , 203364 ; MUSM 39153 , 39154 ), 1 adult male ( MUSM 39152 ) ; Waqanki: 4 adult females ( FMNH 203354 , 203548 , 203552 ; MUSM 39143 ), 2 adult males ( FMNH 203550 ; MUSM 39144 ) ; see table 4 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: We consulted the descriptions and measurements of Pine (1972), Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990), and McLellan and Koopman (2008). No subspecies are currently recognized in Carollia brevicauda ( McLellan and Koopman, 2008; Velazco, 2013). Our specimens conform in all respects to previous descriptions of C. brevicauda : forearm length ranging from 36 mm to 41 mm; fur long, thick, and fluffy; forearm, tibia, and toes hairy; outer lower incisors not obscured by cingula of canines when lower jaw viewed in dorsal view; labial outline of upper toothrow evenly curved, without a distinct notch; crown of first lower incisor triangular in outline; and trigonid of m1 distinctly narrower than talonid ( Pine, 1972; McLellan and Koopman, 2008). Velazco (2013) identified the Mayo River basin voucher material as C. brevicauda .

REMARKS: The wing tips of one male (MUSM 39146) and entire pinnae of one female (FMNH 203358) specimen were white. Twenty-one indi- viduals were captured and released, 9 in the Waqanki and 12 in El Diamante localities. Of the released individuals, two females were pregnant (El Diamante) and two others were lactating (one from each locality).
