Artibeus (Dermanura) anderseni Osgood, 1916

VOUCHER MATERIAL: Tingana: 2 adult males ( FMNH 203438 ; MUSM 39118 ) ; Waqanki: 3 adult females ( FMNH 203610 ; MUSM 39116 , 39117 ) ; see table 11 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of Artibeus anderseni provided by Webster and Jones (1980), Anderson (1997), and Rocha et al. (2018). No subspecies are currently recognized ( Marques-Aguiar, 2008). Our Mayo River basin voucher specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: uropatagium sparsely haired; rostrum elevated (tilted up); weakly developed impression of the optic nerve in the orbit; maxillary toothrow nearly parallel; caniniform P5; broad talon on M1; and presence of two lower molars (Marques- Aguiar, 2008; Díaz et al., 2016; Rocha et al., 2018). Measurements of our specimens fall within the ranges previously reported for the species.

REMARKS: One female (MUSM 39116) that we collected was lactating.
