IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of
Glossophaga soricina
have been provided by
Goodwin and Greenhall (1961)
,
Husson (1962)
,
Alvarez et al. (1991)
,
Webster (1993)
,
Simmons and Voss (1998)
, and
Griffiths and Gardner (2008a)
. Currently five subspecies are recognized:
G. s. antillarum
(
Jamaica
),
G. s.
handleyi
(northern
Mexico
southward to northern and western
Colombia
),
G. s. mutica
(Tres Marías Islands,
Mexico
),
G. s.
soricina
(eastern
Colombia
,
Ecuador
, and
Peru
;
Venezuela
,
Trinidad
,
Guyana
,
Suriname
, French Guiana,
Brazil
, northern
Bolivia
, eastern
Paraguay
, and northern
Argentina
), and
G. s. valens
(western
Ecuador
and
Peru
, and eastward into the upper Marañon River of the Department of Amazonas,
Peru
) (
Alvarez et al., 1991
;
Webster, 1993
).
G. soricina
is easily distinguished from other species of the genus by craniodental features including: mandibular symphyseal ridge well developed; upper inner incisors large and procumbent, extending anteriorly well beyond upper outer incisors; M1 with well-developed parastyle; lower incisors crowded, usually in contact with each other and canines; and m1 and m2 with well-developed mesostyles (
