Abstract

BARQUEZ, Rubén M.; SANCHEZ, Mariano S.  and  BRACAMONTE, J. César. A new species of Eptesicus (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) for Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2009, vol.16, n.1, pp.199-204. ISSN 0327-9383.

Here we report the inclusion of a new species of bat of the genus Eptesicus for Argentina. This is the fourth species of the genus for the country, and it was recently collected in the province of Jujuy. The other three species previously recorded for Argentina are E. brasiliensis, E. furinalis, and E. diminutus. A detailed analysis indicated us that the new species is E. chiriquinus, previously known only to central Bolivia, at about 600 km North of the new locality reported here for Argentina.

Keywords : Distribution; Eptesicus chiriquinus; Jujuy; Nortwestern Argentina; Vespertilionidae.
