PHYLLOSTOMINAE

The Paracou fauna is rich in phyllostomines, of which we captured 25 species rep­

resenting the genera Chrotopterus , Glyphonycteris , Macrophyllum , Micronycteris (sensu stricto), Mimon , Phylloderma , Phyllostomus , Tonatia , Trachops , Trinycteris , and Vampyrum . Only four additional phyllostomine species have been reported from other collecting localities in French Guiana or Surinam (appendix 1). One phyllostomine species is described herein as new, and two others were previously unknown from the Guianas. The sympatric diversity we report for bats of the genus Micronycteris sensu stricto (seven species) and Tonatia (five species) has, to the best of our knowledge, not been equalled at any other inventory site.
