Abstract

BRANDAO, Marcus V et al. New records of Lampronycteris brachyotis in Brazil. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.147-151. ISSN 0327-9383.

Lampronycteris is a monotypic genus distributed throughout the Neotropical region. Brazil presents the largest number of reports of L. brachyotis, most of which occur within Amazonia, with only limited records in Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. The present report provides an updated distribution of L. brachyotis in these three biomes, including the first records for the states of Rondônia and Goiás and additional records in the states of Mato Grosso, Pará and São Paulo. We highlight that mesic areas in open formations such as Cerrado might support relictual populations of L. brachyotis, highlighting the importance of these areas for bat diversity.

Keywords : Amazon; Atlantic Forest; Cerrado; Chiroptera; Distribution; Orange-throated bat.
