IDENTIFICATION: We consulted the descriptions and measurements of
Pine (1972)
,
Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990)
, and
McLellan and Koopman (2008)
. No subspecies are currently recognized in
Carollia brevicauda
(
McLellan and Koopman, 2008
; Velazco, 2013). Our specimens conform in all respects to previous descriptions of
C. brevicauda
: forearm length ranging from
36 mm
to
41 mm
; fur long, thick, and fluffy; forearm, tibia, and toes hairy; outer lower incisors not obscured by cingula of canines when lower jaw viewed in dorsal view; labial outline of upper toothrow evenly curved, without a distinct notch; crown of first lower incisor triangular in outline; and trigonid of m1 distinctly narrower than talonid (
Pine, 1972
;
McLellan and Koopman, 2008
). Velazco (2013) identified the Mayo River basin voucher material as
C. brevicauda
.
REMARKS: The wing tips of
one male
(MUSM 39146) and entire pinnae of
one female
(FMNH 203358) specimen were white. Twenty-one indi- viduals were captured and released,
9 in
the Waqanki and
12 in
El Diamante localities. Of the released individuals,
two females
were pregnant (El Diamante) and two others were lactating (one from each locality).
