IDENTIFICATION: We consulted descriptions and measurements of
Artibeus anderseni
provided by
Webster and Jones (1980)
,
Anderson (1997)
, and
Rocha
et al. (2018)
. No subspecies are currently recognized (
Marques-Aguiar, 2008
). Our Mayo River basin voucher specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: uropatagium sparsely haired; rostrum elevated (tilted up); weakly developed impression of the optic nerve in the orbit; maxillary toothrow nearly parallel; caniniform P5; broad talon on M1; and presence of two lower molars (Marques- Aguiar, 2008;
Díaz et al., 2016
;
Rocha
et al., 2018
). Measurements of our specimens fall within the ranges previously reported for the species.
REMARKS: One female (MUSM 39116) that we collected was lactating.
