IDENTIFICATION: Descriptions and measurements of
Anoura caudifer
have been provided by
Husson (1962)
,
Handley (1984)
,
Molinari (1994)
,
Simmons and Voss (1998)
,
Mantilla-Meluk and Baker (2006)
,
Brosset and Charles-Dominique (1990)
, and
Pacheco et al. (2018)
. No subspecies are currently recognized in
A. caudifer
(
Griffiths and Gardner, 2008a
)
. Our Mayo River basin specimens exhibit the diagnostic characteristics of the species: well-developed calcar, slightly smaller than the foot; presence of a short tail; lower lip protruding less than
3 mm
beyond upper lip; skull with keel along midline of mesopterygoid fossa that is not flattened posteriorly and usually extends onto septum between basisphenoid pits; and upper last premolar lacking medial internal cusp. Our vouchers fall within the range of measurements reported for
A. caudifer
.
REMARKS: Two females (FMNH 203338, 203526) that we collected were pregnant, each with a single embryo (crown-rump length [CRL] =
20 mm
).
