IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of
Desmodus rotundus
have been provided by
Goodwin and Greenhall (1961)
,
Husson (1962)
,
Swanepoel and Genoways (1979)
,
Greenhall et al. (1983)
, and
Simmons and Voss (1998)
. Currently two subspecies are recognized:
D. r. murinus
(northwestern
Mexico
southward to northern and western
Colombia
, and from the Pacific lowlands and western slopes of the Andes in
Ecuador
and
Peru
) and
D. r. rotundus
(
Trinidad
,
Venezuela
, Guianas, Amazon basin of
Colombia
,
Ecuador
,
Peru
,
Brazil
, and
Bolivia
, south through
Paraguay
and
Uruguay
into
Chile
and northern
Argentina
) (
Kwon and Gardner, 2008
). Our specimens conform in all respects to previous descriptions of
D. rotundus
: thumb greatly elongated, longer than hind foot, and with the presence of two basal pads; ventral sulcus present on tongue; inner lower incisors bicuspidate; and one upper molar on each side (
Goodwin and Greenhall, 1961
;
Kwon and Gardner, 2008
;
Cirranello et al., 2016
). Our Mayo River basin voucher material belongs to the nominate subspecies.
REMARKS: One female (FMNH 203336) that we collected was lactating.
