Platyrrhinus angustirostris Velazco et al., 2010

VOUCHER MATERIAL (TOTAL = 2): Jenaro Herrera (MUSM 5500, 5928); see table 46 for measurements.

UNVOUCHERED OBSERVATIONS: None.

IDENTIFICATION: Platyrrhinus angustirostris can be distinguished from conspecific species by the following characteristics: long, dense fur on dorsal surface of feet; U-shaped posterior margin of uropatagium; metacarpal V shorter than metacarpal III; fossa on the squamosal root of the zygomatic arch shallow; three cuspules on posterior cristid of the second upper premolar; M1 protocone well developed; stylar cuspule absent on lingual face of M2 paracone; and m2 hypoconid absent (Velazco et al., 2010a). Descriptions and measurements of P. angustirostris were provided by Velazco et al. (2010a) and Velazco and Lim (2014). No subspecies are currently recognized (Velazco et al., 2010a).

Ascorra et al. (1993) identified their specimens from Jenaro Herrera as Platyrrhinus helleri , but we reidentified them as P. angustirostris .

REMARKS: No ecological data accompanies either specimen we examined.
