Genus Chiroderma Peters, 1860 View in CoL
The genus Chiroderma includes seven currently recognized species that can be distinguished from other stenodermatines by the following combination of characteristics: muzzle short, broad, and deep; dorsal fur dense, with long guard hairs standing out above the underfur covering the body, and especially conspicuous on the cephalic region; legs furred; uropatagium partially furred but lacking a conspicuous fringe of hair on its trailing edge; horseshoe of noseleaf with free margins along its entire extension; eyes large; skull with a conspicuous notch at the region of the nasal bones, which are extremely reduced; large orbital region; hard palate long, extending posteriorly almost to the glenoid fossa; inner upper incisors long and pointed; first upper premolar and canine in contact; and first and second upper premolars lacking hypocones (Emmons and Feer, 1997; Gardner, 2008e; Taddei and Lim, 2010; Garbino et al., 2020). We recorded both species of Chiroderma expected to occur in the Yavarí-Ucayali interfluve following the revised distributional data in Garbino et al. (2020).
