Treatment

Erophylla sezekorni (Gundlach, 1860) View in CoL View at ENA . Monatsb. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 1860:818.

TYPE LOCALITY: Cuba, Pinar del Rio, Santa Cruz de los Pinos, Rangel .

DISTRIBUTION: Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Cayman Isis.

SYNONYMS: bombifrons , mariguanensis, planifrons , santacristobalensis , syops.

COMMENTS: Includes bombifrons ; see Buden (1976:14). Reviewed by Baker et al. (1978, Mammalian Species, 115). Based on differences in size of ears, shape of rostrum, inflation of braincase, and certain dental characters, E. bombifrons (Hispaniola and Puerto Rico) should probably be regarded as a distinct species. Although recognition of E. bombifrons represents my unpublished opinion, this species has been universally recognized up until the last several years; see Varona (1974:29) and Hall (1981: 170).
