A Summary of Recognizable Species of Tonatia, with Descriptions of Two New Species

XXXIV.—Notes on some mammals from Ecuador

“…But comparing the measurements of the type of loephotis with those of the specimens from eastern Ecuador (Table I, page 270) it will be seen that in some cases their measurements are almost identical. The measurements of the smaller specimens agree with those given by Goodwin (1942) for amblyotis (which has quite a wide range from Matte Grosso, Brazil, through Ecuador to British Honduras), and with the minimum measurements of loephotis given in the same work.…”

Quirópteros da Reserva Biológica do Tinguá, estado do Rio de Janeiro, sudeste do Brasil (Mammalia: Chiroptera)

“…Essa espécie é também similar em tamanho a Lophostoma silvicolum com a qual pode ser confundida no campo, mas pode ser facilmente distinguida desta pela ausência de banda interauricular sobre a fronte e por possuir orelhas menores que 32 mm e largura pós-orbitária maior que 5 mm (GOODWIN 1942, MEDELLÍN & ARITA 1989, WILLIAMS et al 1995.…”

Two New Species of the GenusPeriglischrus(Acari: Mesostigmata: Spinturnicidae) on Two Bat Species of the GenusTonatia(Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) from Southeastern Mexico, with Additional Data from Panama

“…The bat genus Tonatia, deÞned by cranial and dental characters, seems a robust taxonomic entity and it is recognized in all recent taxonomic reviews of the family Phyllostomidae (Baker et al 1989, Wetterer et al 2000. The genus Tonatia was considered morphologically close to Micronycteris Gray (Goodwin 1942), but later phylogenetic approaches have associated it with the tribe Phyllostomini (Baker et al 1989) and, Þnally, with the carnivorous tribe Vampyrini (Wetterer et al 2000). At present, Tonatia has seven recognized species, traditionally arranged by size in three groups.…”

“…Also, while the taxonomic revision of the large (Davis andCarter 1978, Williams et al 1995) and medium (Genoways and Williams 1980) species of Tonatia has been done, a revision of the small species of the group has not. The small species of Tonatia have been considered close to the still taxonomically confused genus Micronycteris (Goodwin 1942). The discovery of an additional undescribed Periglischrus sp.…”
