Glyphonycteris daviesi
(Hill)
VOUCHER MATERIAL:
1 female (MNHN *1995.1029) and 1 male (AMNH *267856); see table 20 for measurements.
IDENTIFICATION:
Hill’s (1964)
detailed original description was based on only a single specimen. Comparative measurements of additional material were subsequently reported by Swanepoel and
Genoways (1979)
, Genoways and Williams (1986),
Brosset and CharlesDominique (1990)
, and
McCarthy and Ochoa (1991)
.
Pine et al. (1996)
provid ed a comprehensive review of
Glyphonycteris daviesi
with measurements of specimens from througout its known range. No subspecies are currently recognized (Koopman, 1994;
Pine et al., 1996
).
Our specimens of
Glyphonycteris daviesi
conform closely to previous descriptions of the species, although our male (AMNH 267856) has a slightly shorter forearm than previously reported.
FIELD OBSERVATIONS: Our two specimens of
Glyphonycteris daviesi
, an adult male and an adult female, were captured in the same groundlevel mistnet on the same night in swampy primary forest.
