Noteworthy records of bats of the genus Eumops Miller, 1906 from Guatemala: first confirmed record of Underwood’s Bonneted Bat, Eumops underwoodi Goodwin, 1940 (Mammalia, Chiroptera, Molossidae), in the country

Abstract

Two species of Eumops Miller, 1906 are reported with voucher specimens from Guatemala: E. auripendulus (Shaw, 1800) and E. ferox (Gundlach, 1861). Eumops underwoodi Goodwin, 1940 has been known only by recordings. We collected dead specimens of E. ferox and E. underwoodi in a wind farm. Additionally, we provide acoustic data, and an allometric scaling hypothesis supports the identification of E. underwoodi, as it reflects the largest body size for sympatric free-tailed bats. We increase the list of bats in Guatemala to 104 species.
