Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758)

VOUCHER MATERIAL: El Diamante: 8 adult females ( FMNH 203374 , 203380 , 203570 ; MUSM 39162 , 39164 , 39165 , 39166 , 39169 ), 6 adult males ( FMNH 203376 , 203378 , 203572 ; MUSM 39163 , 39167 , 39168 ) ; Tingana: 12 adult females ( FMNH 203382 , 203384 , 203386 , 203388 , 203390 , 203392 , 203396 ; MUSM 39170 , 39171 , 39174 , 39177 , 39178 ), 7 adult males ( FMNH 203394 , 203574 , 203576 ; MUSM 39172 , 39173 , 39175 , 39176 ) ; Waqanki: 9 adult females ( FMNH 203368 , 203370 , 203372 , 203560 , 203566 ; MUSM 39155 , 39156 , 39157 , 39160 ), 7 adult males ( FMNH 203366 , 203562 , 203564 , 203568 ; MUSM 39158 , 39159 , 39161 ) ; see table 5 for measurements.

IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of Carollia perspicillata were provided by Pine (1972), Goodwin and Greenhall (1961), Husson (1962, 1978), Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990), Cloutier and Thomas (1992), and McLellan and Koopman (2008). We follow Velazco (2013) in not recognizing subspecies in C. perspicillata . Our Mayo River basin specimens exhibit all the diagnostic characteristics of the species (e.g., forearm longer than 39 mm; fur relatively short, sparse, and coarse; forearm and toes naked or only sparsely haired; half or more of the outer lower incisors obscured by cingula of canines, when lower jaw viewed from directly above; V-shaped lower jaw, with straight rami; maxillary toothrow length more than 7.4 mm) and its measurements fall within the ranges reported for C. perspicillata . Velazco (2013) identified the Mayo River basin voucher material as C. perspicillata .

REMARKS: Four females collected by us were lactating ( FMNH 203377 , 203388 , 203390 ; MUSM 39177 ). Sixty individuals were captured and released, 36 from the El Diamante, four from the Tingana, and 20 from the Waqanki localities. Of the released individuals, one female was pregnant (El Diamante) and two others were lactating (one from each, El Diamante and Waqanki localities) .
