Trachops cirrhosus (Spix, 1823)

Fig. 10

Taxonomy. Monotypic, T. cirrhosus is easily distinguished from other members of Phyllostominae by the elongated papillae-like projections around the mouth ( Lim and Engstrom 2001, Williams and Genoways 2008). The dorsal fur of the PECB specimens (ZSP 024; see Table 5 for measurements) is grayish brown, with light brown basis; the ventral fur is slightly lighter than dorsal fur, with whitish gray basis and gray tips. The ears are rounded and well developed, the tail reaches the middle of the interfemoral membrane and the margins of noseleaf are serrated.

Distribution. In Brazil the species occurs in all biomes, except Pampas, with records in the states of Amazonas, Acre, Rondônia, Roraima, Pará, Amapá, Tocantins, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Ceará, and Piauí ( Tavares et al. 2008, Reis et al. 2017). In São Paulo, the species is distributed along the coastal Atlantic Forest ( Garbino 2016).

Field observations, We captured two males and one female of T. cirrhosus , which were taken in ground-level mist-nets in sampling sites M4, M10 and M16 (Appendix 1). Captures occurred in January and February, with one lactating female captured on January.
