“…The dental formula of D. ecaudata is i 2/2, c 1/1, p 1/2, m 2/2, total 26, whereas the total number of teeth is 22 (i 1/2, c 1/1, p 1/2, m 2/1) in Diaemus and 20 (i 1/2, c 1/1, p 1/2, m 1/1) in Desmodus (Medellín et al 2008;Álvarez et al 2017). The lower incisors are broad, flat, complex, and larger than those in Desmodus and Diaemus (Greenhall et al 1984;Koopman 1988;Davis et al 2010;Scheffer et al 2015). In D. ecaudata, the lower incisors are arranged in a continuous crest of small beadshaped lobes, whereas a diastema separates the central incisors in Desmodus and Diaemus (Davis et al 2010).…”
