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)
.
