Taxonomy. Pygoderma Peters, 1863 is a monotypic genus represented by P. bilabiatum (Wagner, 1843) ( Gardner 2008c) . Pygoderma bilabiatum is morphologically similar to A. centurio Gray, 1847 , whose occurrence in Atlantic Forest was recently reported ( Vilar et al. 2015). Pygoderma bilabiatum can be distinguished from A. centurio mainly by larger size (forearm> 36 mm in P. bilabiatum and <33.2 mm in A. centurio ), by the presence of a double lip from the base of noseleaf to the corner of mouth ( Lim and Engstrom 2001, Vilar et al. 2015, Díaz et al. 2016), and by the presence of “doughnut-shaped” glandular tissue masses surrounding the eyes ( Tavares and Tejedor 2009). Specimens from PECB (ZSP 043, 044; see Table 6 for measurements) have tricolored dorsal fur, with a mid-brown basal band, light brown mid band and grayish brown distal band; ventral fur is light brown with white patches on the shoulders. The uropatagium is densely furred, the tragus yellowish, the eyes are well developed, and the double lip is evident.

Distribution. In Brazil the species is recorded in the Atlantic Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado and Pantanal biomes, in the states of Alagoas, Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo ( Carvalho-Neto et al. 2017, Reis et al. 2017). The type locality of the species is Ipanema, São Paulo state, where the species is widely distributed ( Garbino 2016).

Field observations. The three individuals (2 males and 1 female) were captured in May and June, in mist-nets set at ground-level on dirt roads, in sampling sites M31 and M34 (Appendix 1).
