“…In terms of bat identification, we found a fairly representative number of species. Of the 42 species of Phyllostomidae and ten species of Vespertilionidae that have already been described in ES state [ 42 ], we found 38% and 10%, respectively. We observed that environmental variables interfered with the distributions of the bats, as only 1/3 of the bat species were found at the three study sites.…”

The aim of this study was to reevaluate the ecology of an area in the Atlantic Forest, southeast Brazil, where Chagas disease (CD) has been found to occur. In a previous study, immediately after the occurrence of a CD case, we did not observe any sylvatic small mammals or dogs with Trypanosoma cruzi cruzi infections, but Triatoma vitticeps presented high T. c. cruzi infection rates. In this study, we investigated bats together with non-volant mammals, dogs, and triatomines to explore other possible T. c. cruzi reservoirs/hosts in the area. Seventy-three non-volant mammals and 186 bats were captured at three sites within the Guarapari municipality, Espírito Santo state. Rio da Prata and Amarelos sites exhibited greater richness in terms of non-volant mammals and bats species, respectively. The marsupial Metachirus nudicaudatus, the rodent Trinomys paratus, and the bats Artibeus lituratus and Carollia perspicillata were the most frequently captured species. As determined by positive hemocultures, only two non-volant mammals were found to be infected by Trypanosoma species: Monodelphis americana, which was infected by T. cascavelli, T. dionisii and Trypanosoma sp., and Callithrix geoffroyi, which was infected by T. minasense. Bats presented T. c. cruzi TcI and TcIII/V, T. c. marinkellei, T. dionisii, T. rangeli B and D, and Trypanosoma sp. infections. Seven dogs were infected with T. cruzi based only on serological exams. The triatomines T. vitticeps and Panstrongylus geniculatus were found to be infected by trypanosomes via microscopy. According to molecular characterization, T. vitticeps specimens were infected with T. c. cruzi TcI, TcII, TcIII/V, and TcIV, T. c. marinkellei and T. dionisii. We observed high trypanosome diversity in a small and fragmented region of the Atlantic Forest. This diversity was primarily maintained by bats and T. vitticeps. Our findings show that the host specificity of the Trypanosoma genus should be thoroughly reviewed. In addition, our data show that CD cases can occur without an enzootic cycle near residential areas.

“…However, looking at Ruschi's publications we could not find any references for the presence of T. tricolor or any thyropterid. Mendes et al (2010) reviewed more than 50 papers (including the majority of Ruschi publications) and 14 unpublished works and did not find a record either. Therefore, this new record represents the first documented occurrence of the family Thyropteridae and Thyroptera wynneae for Espírito Santo state.…”

“…Therefore, this new record represents the first documented occurrence of the family Thyropteridae and Thyroptera wynneae for Espírito Santo state. The species richness for the state is now 77 species, distributed in eight families and 47 genera (Lorenzutti and Almeida 2006;Lira et al 2009;Mendes et al 2010;Pimenta et al 2010;Peracchi et al 2011;Hoppe et al 2014;Pimenta et al 2014).

First occurrence of the recently described Patricia’s Disk-winged bat Thyroptera wynneae (Chiroptera: Thyropteridae) in Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil

Sucker-footed bats from the family Myzopodidae that have adhesive disks similar in appearance, however with different anatomical and evolutionary origins (i.e., they evolved convergently) (Riskin and Fenton 2001; Boada et al. 2010; Schliemann and Goodman 2011). Furthermore, thyropterids have an elongated, slender muzzle; circular and well-separated nares; small size (forearm length = 31-41 mm); funnel-shaped ears; and the third and fourth toes, including the claws, are fused (Wilson 2008). The Patricia's Disk-winged bat Thyroptera wynneae was recently described by Velazco et al. (2014) from material collected in northeastern Peru and southeastern Brazil, and is one of the smallest members of the genus (forearm length = 33.0-34.2 mm). Thyroptera wynneae and T. discifera overlap in size, but can be separated by the tricolored ventral pelage of the former, unique within the genus, as T. discifera and T. tricolor have unicolored ventral pelage, and T. devivoi and T. lavali, bicolored ventral pelage (Wilson 1978; Velazco et al. 2014). The overall coloration of the pelage is grayish brown in T. devivoi, yellowish brown in T. discifera, medium brown in T. lavali, white or whitish in T. tricolor, and light brown in T. wynneae. Unique to T. wynneae is the rostrum considerably shorter than the braincase; and the height of the lower incisors, which are subequal compared to differently sized lower incisors in the remaining thyropterids (Velazco et al. 2014).

“…Along its distribution, however, it is a rare to uncommon species (Aguiar et al 2006). In Brazil, few records are available for most states where this bat has been found, and some well-studied states still lack records (e.g., Espírito Santo, Mendes et al 2010). While examining material in a museum mammal collection, we discovered a specimen of D. youngii that fills the gap for the state of Goiás.…”

Diaemus youngii (Jentink, 1893) is a widespread species occurring from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Along its distribution, however, this bat is rare to uncommon. Here, we report its record for the state of Goiás, central-western Brazil, based on a specimen found in the mammal collection of the Instituto Nacional da Mata Atlântica, former Museu de Biologia Professor Mello Leitão. Diaemus youngii is known from 129 unique localities, with 81 (over 62%) in Brazil, followed by Peru (7), Bolivia (6) and Venezuela (6). It is absent in the west of the Andes, southern Argentina, Uruguay, and Caribbean islands, except for Trinidad.
