Abstract

CLAUDIO, Vinícius C et al. First record of Lonchophylla bokermanni (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) for the Caatinga biome. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.43-51. ISSN 0327-9383.

Lonchophylla bokermanni is known from three localities in the southern portion of the Serra do Espinhaço, all located in the Cerrado of Minas Gerais. Based on recent material from two localities in the Caatinga of Bahia, northeastern Brazil, we report the species occurrence in the northern portion of Serra do Espinhaço. These new records extend the species distribution by more than 840 km and represent the first records of L. bokermanni in the Caatinga biome. The localities we report here are under severe anthropic pressure, and this distribution extension should not inhibit conservation efforts for the species.

Keywords : Cerrado; Conservation; Geographic distribution; Lonchophyllinae; Northeastern Brazil.
