IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of Platyrrhinus infuscus provided by Cabrera (1958), Gardner and Carter (1972), Swanepoel and Genoways (1979), Velazco (2005), and Velazco and Gardner (2009). No subspecies are currently recognized in P. infuscus ( Gardner, 2008d) . Our Mayo River basin specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: larger size (FA> 54 mm); dark brown dorsal pelage; facial and dorsal stripes inconspicuous; short, sparse hair on the upper surface of feet; posterolabial cuspulid present on p5; M1 parastyle present; and m1 metaconid well developed ( Velazco, 2005; Gardner, 2008d). Measurements of our specimens fall within the range reported for the species.
