Carollia sp.

VOUCHER MATERIAL: El Diamante: 1 adult female ( FMNH 203398 ) ; see table 5 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: This unnamed Carollia species was first recognized by Solari and Baker (2006) based on specimens from eastern Ecuador and northeastern Peru. We were unable to find any discrete morphological characteristic that would distinguish this unnamed species from C. benkeithi or C. castanea . Based on the analysis of cytochrome b sequences, Velazco (2013) identified our specimen from El Diamante as a member of this unnamed taxon.

REMARKS: Our only specimen of Carollia sp. was lactating. We continue to treat this as an unnamed taxon pending a more thorough revision of the genus.
