Genus Saccopteryx Illiger, 1811

The genus Saccopteryx includes five species that collectively range from Mexico to Paraguay and southeastern Brazil (Simmons, 2005; Garbino, 2011; Owen et al., 2014; Simmons and Cirranello, 2020). References useful for identifying species of Saccopteryx include Sanborn (1937), Jones and Hood (1993), and Hood and Gardner (2008), all of which provide keys based on external and craniodental morphology. López-Baucells et al. (2018) additionally provided a key based on external characters only. All three species expected to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve are represented in our material, and all three have also been detected by acoustic methods.
