Myotis riparius
Handley, 1960
VOUCHER MATERIAL:
Waqanki
:
2 adult
females (
FMNH 203650
;
MUSM 39245
)
; see table 19 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of
Myotis riparius
provided by
Handley (1960)
,
LaVal (1973)
,
Simmons and Voss (1998)
,
Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990)
,
López-González et al. (2001)
,
Moratelli et al. (2013)
, and
Novaes et al. (2017)
. No subspecies are currently recognized in
M. riparius
(
Novaes et al., 2017
)
. Our Mayo River basin voucher specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: fur long and woolly; dorsal pelage unicol- ored; plagiopatagium attached to the foot at the level of the base of the toes; a fringe of hairs lacking along the trailing edge of uropatagium; sagittal and lambdoidal crests present; and occipital region flattened posteriorly (
Novaes et al., 2017
). Measurements of the Mayo River specimens fall within the range of measurements reported for the species.
REMARKS: One female (MUSM 39245) that we collected was lactating.
