Subfamily Phyllostominae Gray, 1825

The subfamily Phyllostominae currently includes 23 species in 10 genera ( Chrotopterus , Gardnerycteris , Lophostoma , Macrophyllum , Mimon , Phylloderma , Phyllostomus , Tonatia , Trachops , and Vampyrum ) (Dávalos et al., 2014; Baker et al., 2016; Cirranello et al., 2016; Rojas et al., 2016; Simmons and Cirranello, 2020). Historically, this subfamily was defined more broadly to include all the insectivorous/ animalivorous phyllostomids, including taxa now classified in Macrotinae, Micronycterinae , Lonchorhininae, and Glyphonycterinae (Wetterer et al., 2000; Williams and Genoways, 2008). However, analyses of molecular data have convincingly demonstrated that genera now included in those subfamilies do not form a clade with Phyllostominae sensu stricto (Baker et al., 2003; Baker et al., 2016). Phyllostomines are characterized by having a noseleaf with a spear that is equal to or longer than twice the height of the horseshoe; a noseleaf rib that extends all the way to the apex of the spear; a single interramal vibrissa; pinnae with smoothly rounded (not concave) lateral margins; wing digit IV with subequal first and sec- ond phalanges; and outer upper incisors that are always in contact with the canines (Cirranello et al., 2016). We recorded all 13 phyllostomine species with geographic ranges that overlap the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve.
