Three specimens of Vampyrodes caraccioli were collected in Corupá and São Bento do Sul, in Santa Catarina state, increasing its geographic distribution extension by 170 km south. These specimens also represent the first record for the species in Santa Catarina. The knowledge about bats in Santa Catarina has increased in recent years, showing the need of basic studies about richness and diversity in different regions.
Anomalias em bicos de aves são raras e podem ter origens anatômicas, histológicas, genéticas, entre outras, resultando em alongamentos, atrofias, curvaturas e/ou enrolamentos da maxila ou mandíbula. Apresentamos dois casos de deformidade de bico em Saracura-do-mato (Aramides saracura), ambos provenientes do município de Blumenau, Santa Catarina, Brasil. Um dos indivíduos aqui reportado veio a óbito e foi incorporado à coleção zoológica da Fundação Universidade Regional de Blumenau.
