VOUCHER MATERIAL (TOTAL = 1): Jenaro Herrera (CEBIOMAS 237); see table 55 for measurements.

UNVOUCHERED OBSERVATIONS: None.

IDENTIFICATION: Jenaro Herrera is the type locality of Thyroptera wynneae , which can be dis-

tinguished from other congeners by the following combination of traits: tricolored brownish ventral pelage; proximal portion of the forearm well furred; adhesive disk at base of thumb oblong; calcar with two posterolaterally projecting lappets plus five tiny skin projections between the foot disk and the proximal lappet; foramen ovale large; outer upper incisor mesial cusp larger than the distal cusp; both cusps on the outer upper incisor perpendicularly arranged relative to the long axis of the toothrow; first upper premolar circular in occlusal view; and outer lower incisor with two small accessory cusps (mesostyle and distostyle) (Velazco et al., 2014; López-Baucells et al., 2018). Descriptions and measurements of T. wynneae were provided by Velazco et al. (2014) and Hoppe et al. (2014). No subspecies are currently recognized (Velazco et al., 2014).

REMARKS: We found a single roosting group of Thyroptera wynneae near Jenaro Herrera, where two individuals (of which one adult male was collected) were discovered inside a dead Cecropia leaf hanging by its petiole about 2 m
