VOUCHER MATERIAL: 1 female (AMNH *267918); see table 29 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION: Tonatia carrikeri has been collected only rarely, so descriptions and measurements of most known specimens have been reported in the literature, for example, by Goodwin (1942), Husson (1962, 1978), Gardner (1976), Swanepoel and Genoways (1979), McCarthy et al. (1983, 1992), Genoways and Williams (1984), and McCar thy and Handley (1987). No subspecies are currently recognized (Koopman, 1994).
Our single female specimen of Tonatia carrikeri agrees with previous descriptions of the species in all respects. Like several other congeners, T. carrikeri folds its ears back over the crown of the head when they are touched.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS: The single example of Tonatia carrikeri we captured at Paracou was taken in a groundlevel mistnet in swampy primary forest dominated by the palm Euterpe oleracea .
