Taxonomy. The distinction between
S. tildae
and most congeners is discussed above.
Sturnira tildae
can be distinguished from
S. giannae
by the color pattern of the dorsal fur (tetracolored in
S. tildae
and bicolored in
S. giannae
); the length of the dorsal fur (>
8 mm
in
S. tildae
and
4–6 mm
in
S. giannae
); and the length of metacarpals III and IV (Met III <IV in
S. tildae
and Met III = IV in
S. giannae
–
Velazco and Patterson 2019
). Specimens from PECB (ZSP 029, 038; see
Table 7
for measurements) have tetracolored dorsal fur (
Fig. 30
), with narrow whitish basis, followed by a blackish dark brown band, a paler cream band and a mid-brown distal band, sometimes orangish brown; the contrast between the three first bands is well marked. As observed in
S. lilium
, this banding is also divergent from the pattern recorded by some authors – according to
Lim and Engstrom (2001)
and
López-Baucells et al. (2016)
, the dorsal fur is strongly tricolored in
S. tildae
.
Velazco and Patterson (2019)
, however, describe the dorsal pelage of
S. tildae
as tetracolored, this difference may be related to the fact that some authors may not consider the whitish basis (1/10 of total hairs length) of hairs as a valid band; the same seems to occur in
S. lilium
. The venter is grayish light brown. The upper inner incisors have bases and tips of the same size, in contact and bilobed; lingual cusps of lower molars weakly serrated.
Distribution. In
Brazil
, the species is recorded in Amazonia, Atlantic Forest, Cerrado and Caatinga, on the states of Amazonas,
Acre
,
Rondônia
,
Pará
,
Amapá
,
Roraima
,
Tocantins
,
Sergipe
,
Mato Grosso
,
Mato Grosso do Sul
,
Bahia
,
Minas Gerais
,
Espírito Santo
,
Rio de Janeiro
,
São Paulo
,
Paraná
, and
Santa Catarina
(
Tavares et al. 2008
,
Reis et al. 2013
,
Reis et al. 2017
). In
São Paulo
the species is distributed along the coastal Atlantic Forest (
Garbino 2016
). Field observations. The five (
2 males
and
3 females
) individuals were captured in mist-nets set at ground-level in sampling sites M5, M16, M22, M28 and M35 (Appendix 1). Captures occurred in February, April, May, June and September.
