Erophylla sezekorni (Gundlach, 1861) . Monatsb. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin for 1860, p. 818.

TYPE LOCALITY: Cuba, Pinar del Rio, Santa Cruz de los Pinos, Rangel .

DISTRIBUTION: Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Cayman Isis.

COMMENT: Includes bombifrons ; see Buden, 1976, Proc. Biol. Soc. Wash., 89: 14; reviewed by Baker et al., 1978, Mamm. Species, 115:1- 5. Based on differences in size of ears, shape of rostrum, inflation of braincase, and certain dental characters, E. bombifrons (Hispaniola and Puerto Rico) should probably be regarded as a distinct species. Although recognition of Erophylla bombifrons represents my unpublished opinion, this species has been universally recognized up until the last several years; see, Varona, 1974:29 and Hall, 1981: 170 (GSM). E. bombifrons is probably a distinct species (KFK).
