Lonchophylla handleyi Hill, 1980

VOUCHER MATERIAL: Tarapoto: 1 subadult male ( FMNH 203346 ) ; see table 8 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of Lonchophylla handleyi have been provided by Gardner (1976), Bowles et al. (1979), Hill (1980), Solari et al. (1999), Dávalos (2004), Woodman and Timm (2006), Woodman (2007), Dávalos and Corthals (2008), and Mantilla-Meluk et al. (2010). No subspecies are currently recognized in L. handleyi ( Griffiths and Gardner, 2008b) . Our specimen conforms in almost all respects to previous descriptions and exhibits the diagnostic characteristics of L. handleyi : fringe of hairs on the uropatagium; moderately inflated postorbital region; postorbital processes absent; posterior margin of infraorbital foramen located above the posterior root of P5; and weakly developed posterolingual cusp of P5 ( Woodman and Timm, 2006; Griffiths and Gardner, 2008b). Because our specimen is a subadult, its measurements fall at the lower end or just outside the ranges previously reported for L. handleyi .
