Taxonomy. In Brazil, Platyrrhinus Saussure, 1860 is represented by eight species: P. angustirostris Velazco, Gardner & Patterson, 2010 , P. aurarius (Handley & Ferris, 1972) , P. brachycephalus (Rouk and Carter, 1972) , P. fusciventris Velazco, Gardner & Patterson, 2010 , P. incarum (Thomas, 1912) , P. infuscus (Peters, 1880) , P. lineatus (É. Geoffroy, 1810) and P. recifinus (Thomas, 1901) ( Nogueira et al. 2014) . According to Gardner (2008b), Velazco et al. (2010) and Díaz et al. (2016), P. lineatus and P. recifinus have intermediate size within the genus and are distiguished from the small species by the forearm size (> 42 mm in P. lineatus and P. recifinus and <42 mm in P.angustirostris , P. brachycephalus , P.fusciventris and P. incarum ). Platyrrhinus infuscus and P.aurarius , with records in Brazil restricted to Amazon, are larger than P. lineatus and P. recifinus (forearm> 49 mm in P. aurarius ,> 54 mm in P. infuscus and <48 mm in P. lineatus and P. recifinus ).

The distinction between P. lineatus and P. recifinus is based on several characters, such as: presence of one interramal vibrissae in P. lineatus , absent in P. recifinus ; tricolored dorsal fur in P. lineatus , tetracolored in P. recifinus ; larger size in P. lineatus (forearm> 45 mm, <46 mm in P. recifinus ); lower incisors bilobed in P. lineatus , trilobed or flat in P. recifinus ( Velazco 2005, Dias and Peracchi 2008, Velazco et al. 2010, Díaz et al. 2016). The specimen from PECB (ZSP 032; see Table 7 for measurements) have a tricolored dorsal fur, with a narrow mid-brown basal band, a paler mid band and a mid-brown distal band; ventral fur is light brown. Facial and dorsal stripes are bright and well markedwell-marked, uropatagium has a deep notch and furred edge. Edge of the ears and noseleaf are whitish and one interramal vibrissae is present. Upper inner incisors in contact, and lower incisors in contact, well developed and bilobed.

Distribution. In Brazil, the species is recorded in all biomes, in the states of Tocantins, Piauí, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe, Bahia, Goiás, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul ( Velazco 2005, Reis et al. 2013). In São Paulo the species is widely distributed, occurring in all the vegetational formations ( Garbino 2016).

Field observations. In March we captured one adult female in a mist-net elevated 8 m over a wide stream in sampling site M24 (Appendix 1).
