Taxonomy. According to
Nogueira et al. (2014)
, seven species of
Lasiurus
Gray, 1831
are recognized to
Brazil
:
L. blossevillii
([Lesson, 1826]),
L. castaneus
Handley, 1960
,
L. cinereus
(Palisot de Beauvois, 1796)
,
L. ebenus
Fazzolari-Corrêa, 1994
,
L. ega
(Gervais, 1856)
,
L. egregius
(Peters, 1870)
, and
L. salinae
Thomas, 1902
. However,
Baird et al. (2015)
consider
L. salinae
as a subspecies of
L. blossevillii
.
Lasiurus ebenus
can be distinguished from all congeners based on the black membranes and fur coloration. The other species present lighter colors, with fur coloration varying from reddish to yellowish, orange or whitish (
Fazzolari-Corrêa 1994
,
Bianconi and Pedro 2007
,
Reid 2009
). The specimen from PECB (MN 83982; see
Table 10
for measurements) have tricolored dorsal fur, with black basis and tips; bicolored ventral fur, with dark-brown basis and black tips; and black membranes and face. The interfemoral membrane is furred until half of its length, the ventral region of the humera and forearms are also furred.
Distribution. Our specimen represents the second record of.
L. ebenus
since its description (see
Cláudio et al. 2018
). The species was previously known only from its
type
locality, the
Ilha
do Cardoso State Park, also in São Paulo state (
Fazzolari-Corrêa 1994
), which is about
100 km
away from PECB.
Field observations. The adult male was captured in February in a ground-level mist-net set over a small stream in sampling site M20 (Appendix 1).
